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....
Why dont you feel the same way about telephone calls and surface mail letters? An ISP has the right to offer a contract that bills you partly by bandwidth, partly by number of emails sent, if they want to. No-one has the right to dictate the pricing structure of a company, the only right you have, is to decide to accept their offer or not. _______________________________________________ Fun and Misc security discussion for OT posts. https://linuxbox.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/funsec Note: funsec is a public and open mailing list.
