An excellent question. I was unable, as a customer, to get a direct answer to any of my queries as to what was or wasn't allowed at all, despite multiple attempts each time it happened. After the 3rd cut-off, I cut out, so to speak. :-) All my email still travels over their network, it just doesn't get routed through their SMTP servers. > Who's to say that there arent legitimate reasons to email a large number > of people - perhaps your customers?? > > Certainly if my own ISP did something like that, you're quite right, i'd > have to find an alternative.

At least now I know my monthly gross transfer is limited to 250 GB (except in February when its only 228 GB... :-) ) Jeff Kinz. --
