Can someone please clarify the following:
If I use my ISP to send email, they log it and keep the record for years.
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?
Your ISP can theoretically intercept anything and everything your servers sends or receives as your internet-connection obviously goes through your ISP. If you operate your own mailserver, your ISP would need to be listening in on e.g. port25 to have anything to log - not likely, but far from impossible. /Per Jessen, Zürich -- 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
