And none of AT&T's legitimate business partners, clients, and customers have dynamic IP addresses? None of them go home and relay through their home ISP? Or use YourFreeFlyByNightWebMailPopUpAdSite.com when off site? I mean dealing with spam and email borne worms costs money, but I cannot imagine how much $$$ in administrative overhead this policy will cost. This is going to burn many man-hours to build and then to maintain forever and ever and ever. Any AT&Ters on this list know the inside story? And I would think something like this will show up in the trade rags if not the techology section of mainstream media outlets. Anyone seen anything (or should I wait for it to hit /.)? -- Crist J.
