I wholly disagree with this as well. If I have a mailing list with 2million people on it, I should be able to send 2 million messages within an hour. I'm paying for a pipe, that is all. IMHO they have no right to limit my usage in any way shape or form. They do by upload speed. Right now at home I only have 400k upload, that would limit the amount of messages I could send to that 2million person mailing list. Why should I have to pay more just because some idiots send spam to 10's of millions of people and I only want to operate my Crochet hobby list? I'm already paying for the pipe, and certain speed up/down. The speed should be the limit, not the number of mail messages I send....

Consumer ISPs should also rate limit the number of email messages a customer can send per hour/per day. For folks who need more volume, they can spend money with a bulk email service.

Their inability to distinguish between legitimate SMTP traffic and malicious (spam) SMTP traffic. That's pretty damned unreasonable in my book. - ferg -- "Richard M.
