This is off topic, but your comment made me think of a battle a few yrs back between corporations / offices & "fax marketers" sending out advertising to company fax machines. The idea (& objection) was the marketers were using the companies' machines, electricity, paper for free, to advertise. Not sure what became of that or if it's a non issue now, w/ email being dominant.On Wed, 07 Nov 2012 16:14:25 +0000 adrelanos <adrelanos@xxxxxxxxxx> wrote: Aside from my thoughts on advertising as an adversary, I do think that the load on the network and associated slowdown is a problem. I only run a relay on and off but I do wonder how much of my bandwidth is being leeched by commercial entities. By rights they should be paying me for it!
It's the same concept of why ISPs & even gov't cracks down on email spammers. Clogging up the system & using others' resources for free, when the spam isn't welcome.
