Most ISPs don't watch logs for the signs of abuse now, why would they magically change their behavior and monitor logs if they required auth? Just because there is more of an audit trail doesn't mean that it will be used.
Because now the server sending viruses is their outgoing mail server, which will get blocked via the various DNSBL's instead of the end-user machine, which should be much more of an incentive t clean things up. ========================================================== Chris Candreva -- chris () westnet com -- (914) 967-7816 WestNet Internet Services of Westchester http://www.westnet.com/
