In the immortal words of Matthew Crocker ([email protected]): > > Shouldn't customers that purchase IP services from an ISP use the ISPs > mail server as a smart host for outbound mail? Given the way that most ISP "shared resource" machines (including but hardly limited to DNS caching/recursive resolves, NNTP servers, web caches, and SMTP smarthosts) are administered, the answer to that question is "Only if they don't actually care if that mail is ever delivered." -n ------------------------------------------------------------<[email protected]> "For years, I've been predicting that artists, writers, and filmmakers would be paid by the government not to produce work, just like farmers are paid not to grow food. Or that they'd be paid to make their work, but would then be forced to store it in a silo unshown or unread. But now I see I was a little off in my prediction. The Internet is that silo."
