Can someone please clarify the following:
If I use my ISP to send email, they log it and keep the record for years.
SUSE does that too with its mailing lists. ;) But how long an ISP is allowed to keep your email might differ from country to country.
If I elect to use my server with its DNS capability to send the mail 'direct', even though I still need the ISP to give me an internet connection, they have nothing to log.
Is my understanding correct?
Do they log (email) traffic? I suppose your internet traffic has to pass through their servers, right? Then theoretically they can log whatever they want, the legality of it being another question. ;) Cheers, Leen -- Check the headers for your unsubscription address For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the archives at http://lists.suse.com Please read the FAQs: suse-linux-e-faq@suse.com
