Technically Ciscos router does a MITM-attack, because it alters data in a communication of two other parties. I don't know of legal situation in other countries, but in Germany it is principally illegal to supress or alter data in computer networks. It is seen as computer sabotage. There have allready been lawsuits in similar cases, e.g. when a provider supressed emails to a user with certain sender addresses without even noticing the user. Another possibility is perhaps the competition law. The argument is that another company sabotages internet protocols to force users to use their own (mail) services instead of let them the free choice. -- Georg ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.
