Yah.. I have never found someone here that can tell me why we do it. I think it is so we can know for 100% who sent a death threat or something if the courts order us to turn over records. It's rather annoying because I have to remember to turn off SMTP Auth in my mail client when I am connected to that ISP. Annoying as it is tho it does provide for hard proof if we need to track who sent a message... I mean the ISP... Whomever they might be. ;) -Josh To Unsubscribe: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/mailing-lists.html List Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/imail_forum%40list.ipswitch.com/ Knowledge Base/FAQ: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/IMail/
