It's always amazing to me that Internet e-mail works at all these days, what with spam, viruses, large software companies trying to dilute/pervert the standard, etc. That it still works is a testament to the technical wisdom and insight of the "founding fathers" (Gordon, Resnick, et al) who developed the RFCs on which it's based. When a lot of people think of the Internet, they think of the web, but as an IPP I can tell you this. If someone's website goes down they call you and complain. If their email goes down they come looking for you with a rope and a lawyer! Fortunately, I've never had to deal with the latter. -- Lindsay Haisley | "In an open world, | PGP public key FMP Computer Services | who needs Windows | available at 512-259-1190 | or Gates" | http://pubkeys.fmp.com http://www.fmp.com | | ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://wiki.list.org/x/AgA3 Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://wiki.list.org/x/QIA9
