I know. I hate that. My old isp did the old "check your pop account to
validate your IP for 10 minutes." I can understand a non-isp doing this
(although auth exists as an smtp extension) but shouldn't an isp know what
ip numbers it owns? Things like that drive me nuts...
I guess maybe it is possible to steal IP numbers? but I don't know anything
about that...
