If it is illegal then RoadRunner, SpeakEasy and VeriZon, not mention MAPS and various other anti-spam groups are in deep trouble. I actually like it that so many of the regional ISPs are taking mail-abuse seriously enough to test mail servers they get mail from. RoadRunner's policy seems to be: We can scan our customers and we can scan people sending email to our customers. http://security.rr.com/probing.htm -- http://www.efn.org/~laprice ( Community, Cooperation, Consensus http://www.opn.org ( Openness to serendipity, make mistakes http://www.efn.org/~laprice/poems ( but learn from them.(carpe fructus ludi) _______________________________________________ Eug-LUG mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mailman.efn.org/cgi-bin/listinfo/eug-lug
