Well, merits and downsides of different solutions may be (and are) discussed at length. I do not intend to spend my time on it. However, I do postulate the following: no solution that prevents me from doing something perfectly legal and normal just because someone else somewhere *may* be doing something nasty is utterly unacceptable. Any solution that does not impose this restriction on me is better. Filtering IP addresses is a crude and rude workaround with unacceptable side effects and not a solution of the actual problem. Generalizing further, ISPs must not filter *anything* by default, unless specifically requested by the client. I have used my own SMTP server for years (on a dial-up, and later on a DSL connection, until a few months ago), and I can recall only two recipients who rejected my emails because of it - that foreign ISP that I mentioned earlier and HaifaU. As I mentioned, I encountered one major email service that filtered my (then) ISP's mail servers. So based on a representative sample of one I guess blacklists blocking all (or Israeli) dial-up/DSL addresses are not used much. -- Oleg Goldshmidt | [EMAIL PROTECTED] ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
