Heard of a little thing called a 'rhetorical question'? Who decides that it is okay for ISPs to block SMTP and not okay for them to block VoIP? If it is okay to block SMTP because "people do bad things" (i.e. spam), how long will it be before RIAA/MPAA/etc. demand ISPs block P2P programs for the same reason? If the a government gets involved and says it is illegal for ISPs to block VoIP, how long before a spammer tries to use the same ruling to say it is illegal to block SMTP? -- Chris Adams <cmadams () hiwaay net> Systems and Network Administrator - HiWAAY Internet Services I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble.
