They are not an ISP; they are a >presence provider (i.e. WEB pages, Email accounts). ISPs can set things so that only those connecting via them can send email - the kind of company you are talking about can't. What such companies can do is detect when you *collect* mail via pop on their server (you *can't* send mail via pop) and work out from this what machine you are using and then allow this machine (for a period of time) to send mail out via their mail server. I think this is what's happening in your case. Manar To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message
