Actually, it's swip'ed to me (I work for said ISP), but I also run a SMTP server on my laptop which bounces usually between two addresses (one at home, one at work), and I suppose that the work address (NOT swip'ed) would have a problem under this proposal. I DO understand the reasoning, but it is a **BIG** culture change, and would take a year or two or more to implement network wide. I think $100/year is STEEP, if it is PER SERVER, but per COMPANY/INDIVIDUAL it **might** be acceptable. (I have 3 boxes + the laptop that do SMTP regularly).
