Off the tangent of ISP run mail servers, It would be sure nice if TW would
offer static IP's. I used to run my own mailserver for years over a 56K
dialup, but the telephone has to go. Sure was nice iptabling sources of
spam and not having to play domain hosting games. Sure, I lost all source
of anonyminity with a permanent known address, but the responsibility was
worth it.
They ought to give everyone a non-changing IP address. That ought to
clean up much nonsense on the net and let disturbed people like me track
who's computer is messing up spreading viruses. I don't know, it just
seems like the way dynamic IP's are being pushed is the source of much
evil in the world. Tattoo a static IP to each house and I feel that the
internet would be more like a community, rather than strangers on a
connection that quickly vanishes.
Sorry, its 1:30am and Santa drank some good chocolate milk with those
cookies and had to rant. Merry Christmas everyone!
