Not that difficult if you recruit the ISP's cooperation (in his case -

not want to scan.
I'm not saying they DID (quite the contrary), just that it is not that
difficult.
Thanks for the technical description. It sounds very similar to what
I suspect they did. Did you know it was Netvision, or did you check
the IP? And if they did it, is there any way for me to find out?
Besides losing some of the E-mails sent to me? Do they leave any
tracks? Can I check the E-mail messages I did received? The headers?
Will they be different?
Is what they did (if they did it) legal? I assume that if Netvision
got a court order, they will not reveal it to me. I already received
a similar court order once, I had to reveal details of a customer of
mine or I would go to jail. I tried to get out of it, they insisted
and eventually I revealed the details. I felt very bad for betraying
one of my customers. It's the only time I did it, in other cases I
didn't reveal anything.
And even if they got a court order, can a court order allow them to
block some of my incoming messages? And if not, if the court order
doesn't allow it, then I guess they probably did it illegally. Or
maybe even there is no court order, someone who works at Netvision or
has access there did it, without asking permission? What do you
think?
Uri.
