because they need to rely on 'whois' service (or on reverse lookup) in order to know if a given IP comes from israel or not. in whois databases, often the network addresses are registered to the hosting ISP (or are not properly registered). reverse lookups sometimes fail, and they probably don't reject if the reverse lookup timed out or failed. just ideas, -- guy "For world domination - press 1, or dial 0, and please hold, for the creator." -- nob o. dy ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
