Seriously, what's so bad about relaying outbound through their server? If you don't send spam, you won't get filtered, and letting the mail queue on their server means it's not tying up your server. > After your first warning you have 48 hours to correct the situation, > or I will disable your service until it is fixed. Do you disable the "port" in question, or their entire access? Who's being heavy-handed here? > I think as net admins its our job to make things easy for the client. > Not to put on our holier than thou cap and try to protect the world > from our clients who don't know what they are doing. Are you seriously saying it's more important to make things easier than it is to protect from ridiculously unprotected PCs? pt _______________________________________________ "Eat sushi frequently". - Avi [email protected] is the human contact address.
