The other issue mentioned by Dana is the fact that everyone (esp. the "huge players"!) should have already implemented anti-spoofing IP filters and should also be preventing dial-up customers from connecting to anything but the providers authorised mail gateways on port 25.

I don't know about the "huge players", but we're an Internet Service Provider, not an Internet Blockage Provider. We don't allow spoofing, and we don't allow relaying, but we're not about to put filters to prevent dialup customers from connecting wherever they want. -- = Christopher Masto = chris@netmonger.net = http://www.netmonger.net/ = = NetMonger Communications = finger for PGP key = $19.95/mo unlimited access = = Director of Operations = (516) 221-6664 = mailto:info@netmonger.net = v---(cut here)---v -- yourname@some.dumb.host.com "Keep in mind that anything Kibo says makes a great sig." -- Kibo ^---(cut here)---^
