list... I talked to my lawyer. And while I am not a lawyer, I can tell you that my lawyer pointed out several interesting legal theories under which I could have some serious liability, and so I don't do that any more. (As an example, consider what happens *to you* if a hospital stops getting emailed results back from their outside laboratory service because their "email firewall" is checking your server, and someone dies as a result of the delay) Uhm. I don't follow? Once you've taken all reasonable measures to tell said hospital that you're no responsible, nor inclined, to forward their mail - and they continue to ignore your warnings - surely responsibility passes to the person who ignores the warnings? (Hospital Systems Engineer and/or IT Management? Or the person who relied on Email for a life-or-death application?) If theres no contract between you and said hospital, and you've taken reasonable steps to prevent a mishap, how is it your liability? Or is this where I get to say 'only in America' ?? To be more relevant to the original problem, I think Paul has every right to do what he wishes with the DNS entry, short of causing anyone else a Denial of Service. (Can't be said hes denying service to any of the clients involved, as they've had no 'service' from him since 1999, as stated...) Mark.
