Even if I wanted to do this, I don't think I could take the performance hit running an access list that large on my incoming ports would create.
I think in order to be able to handle that kind of filtration, he must be an insignificant smaller provider. A larger provider doesn't have the spare cycles in the router to handle it.

Yes, it's be much easier to just filter smtp from 38/8. I don't think anyone with customers could actually do it, though... And Interramp customers would eventually figure out that just about any SMTP server out there can be used as a reflector. Better, I guess, to continue pressuring PSI to eliminate the scum. But aren't Interramp customers now owned by Mindspring? Avi
