RE: [Nolug] Bellsouth's Pop servers...

Most ISPs restrict you to sending only if you are connected thorough their
servers. This is the norm for any ISP. Without limiting who can relay
through their servers, they would without a doubt be targets for spam.
Remember the days when "stealth spammers" using multitudes of open servers
used to be able to send mail from all over...
