I just want to say that this wasn't true. Sure their QoS sucked donkey testicles. But the staff on hand was (up until GST bought them out) amazingly helpful (more so than tech support), knoweledgable, and pro BSD (esp. FreeBSD). As long as I could provide my own mail server it was worth putting up with subpar service. The one worthwhile thing they did however, was rig up some sort of authentication so that if the IP you were using (assuming it was a non "native" IP), had logged into their POP3 server, for the next 30 mins that IP could use their SMTP server. - alex Experience something different With our new imported dolly She's lovely, warm, inflatable And we guarantee her joy - The Police To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
