I can't see how it will help as all you are keeping is a log file which won't tell you anything accept who sent who an email at a particular date and time. It also means lots of added diskspace as log files tend to get quite large. This means that we will have to invest in large storage systems before march to store all this extra data. ------------- https://www.webwiz.net/web-wiz-forums/forum-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - Web Wiz Forums Hosting https://www.webwiz.net/web-hosting/windows-web-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - ASP.NET Web Hosting |

Bruce, exactly! I have also heard about a another stupid move from the government of another country (Australia) to filter Internet traffic. http://www.zeropaid.com/news/9934/Australian+Internet+Filtering+Plan+Will+Be+Mandatory+for+Everyone+-+No+Opt-Out - Source . This will cause Internet browsing to be slower than ever before in that country. ------------- "When it gets dark enough, you can see the stars" -Charles A. Beard |

I like the idea of Internet filtering that can be enabled for children to block sites and content which are not suitable. By doing it at an ISP level it makes it harder for the kids to get round rather than software installed on the PC.

I don't think it's practical though... because every single site you visit, good and bad, will have to go through the filter before a user can reach it... which will evantually slow down Internet browsing speeds. ------------- "When it gets dark enough, you can see the stars" -Charles A. Beard |

I was thinking more of a central proxy server you can turn on or off, for the kids, so would only effect the kids browsing. When I used VodaFone mobile broadband they had one on that. When I asked for them to turn it off the customer service at VodaFone said I had to drive 2 hours to a store in Turo with my passport to get it turned off. When I got there the shop said I could do it over the phone. I have now switched will would never use VodaFone again. ------------- https://www.webwiz.net/web-wiz-forums/forum-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - Web Wiz Forums Hosting https://www.webwiz.net/web-hosting/windows-web-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - ASP.NET Web Hosting |

This is ridiculous, another knee-jerk reaction law as always. Of course this won't target the real spammers, only innocent people.
