we have been filterering all outbound smpt (exept from our 2 servers) for years. we have about 1000 Dial up users, and 100 large corporates wireless accounts (average 20 user per account). never had a problem.

Someone thought that would violate a clients civil rights :). They claimed that the management of an ACL to permit valid SMTP hosts would be oppressive. I say that's bull. It wouldn't come close to the crap they have to deal with now in the form of complaints, wasted bandwidth, etc. Regards, Jason -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Allen Armstrong Sent: Saturday, April 24, 2004 10:44 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [IMail Forum] SPAM! A little off topic but why don't ISP's start blocking SMTP from their core routers. In that block all smtp traffic outbound that isn't from their mail servers. This seems to be a solution.
