I think that's correct - it depends. I switched ISP's 2 weeks ago (bad Spectrum cable to great Frontier fiber service *finally* in my neighborhood) and had to rework that relay processing a bit. The old ISP required specific FROM addresses. The new outgoing email server (Godaddy) does not seem to check or change those addresses. It does require a paid account with userid and password, and with that I assume they can trace mail back to me if I decide to change careers and get into the spam business :) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
