You'd state your claim that you want to run your own smarthost. We'd go on about why that is such a bad idea, and how much better your life would be using ours, and why we have that in the AUP to prevent spamming, etc, etc. If you pressured and/or put your foot down we would hand you a very ownourous looking amendment to your contract to sign and your IP would get added to the ${SMARTHOSTS} list. Though for what is probably a <$100.00 account we might just tell you to take a hike and get another ISP, or get what you really want which is simply an Internet Provider. If your paying much more than a $100 a month for 24x7 dialup you should already be looking for another provider already :-) -- Rod Grimes - KD7CAX - (RWG25) rgrimes@gndrsh.dnsmgr.net To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
