This really handcuffs ISPs. Not in the slightest.

It is not uncommone for web services to assume they have a local relay that they can use without authentication...John-- John PeacockDirector of Information Research and TechnologyRowman & Littlefield Publishing Group4501 Forbes BoulevardSuite HLanham, MD 20706301-459-3366 x.5010fax 301-429-5748-------------------------------------------------------------This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list
