    Read my other email on that one.

    I was not discussing success, I was debating the fact that people should
    be able to use their ISP's servers for everything they want. Such
    limitations do in fact help, although they are not very bright and shiny
    to ISP's. In fact, ISP's hate them. I am surprised Verizon took this
    approach.

    How Verizon does anti-spam is another matter best left for another thread.

    Agreed. I can't and won't argue with that one.
