When I was an undergrad at university I discovered the % method of relaying mails through other servers. We used to have competitions to have the maximum time taken for an email to come back, ideally sending email via as many countries as possible. I think the longest was over a day. You remind me of the UKnet usage bills we used to get back in I think around 1990, where iirc emails in and out of the UK via the relay were charged at 4p/KB. Payment to send or receive. This guide of the same vintage brings back happy(?) memories - http://dotat.at/tmp/JANET-Mail-Gateways.pdf Tim
