I can kinda agree with this idea for the most part. In past ISP environments I've worked in and had input in decisions we did redirect SMTP traffic back to our mail servers or blocked out-right access to mail servers outside our control but there were always some special cases. Just as stopping residential broadband customers from hosting servers. I know in my personal situation I do have servers hosted on my residential ADSL connection, but this is known by the provider and I'm also paying for a static subnet that they're hosted on. I think for the general dynamically addressed broadband connections this might be a wise idea, but for those that are paying for static IPs or even static subnets those blocks should be left alone. Granted this would probably include most cable modem and a fair amount of DSL customers. Regards, Jeremy T. Bouse On Thu, Oct 09, 2003 at 12:19:37PM -0400, Vinny Abello wrote:
Personally, I think preventing residential broadband customers from hosting servers would limit a lot of that. I'm not saying that IS the solution. Whether or not that's the right thing to do in all circumstances for each ISP is a long standing debate that surfaces here from time to time. Same as allowing people to host mail servers on cable modems or even allowing them to access mail servers other than the ISP's.
