If ISPs really want to do this -- and really, in some cases it does seem like a good idea given the worm onslaught! -- they should *not* tie it to "business-class" deals. Just tell the users that they can mail support to turn off the port 25 block, no questions asked -- *regardless* of what deal they're on, how much they're paying, etc. 99.9% of the worm victims will never need to -- and the worms will fail; the 0.1% of us will immediately do so -- and we know how to run a virus scanner. - --j. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Exmh CVS iD8DBQE/mt9LQTcbUG5Y7woRApSDAJ9GTaqgHa0xjhJM7EVVuReS3FXDVQCffJ42 3Ru/uEHinehp/cw002TGSPs= =kqXA -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: The SF.net Donation Program.
