This is a followup on my message of last friday. In addition to
the discussion in net.mail, I've received four letters directly,
which state, with varying degrees of vehemence, that any site
wishing to make use of this service should connect directly.

For the record: the only reason I haven't named the company doing
this, is that my decision to start this discussion was my own, and
not done at their request. I expect them to make a public announcement
in the near future. (Besides, you've never heard of them anyway.)

Since I knew that they plan to go ``on the air'' soon, it seemed
reasonable to start this discussion now (trying to avoid any bias
either for or against the service) to get a feel for how people
would react, rather than finding out after the fact.

I will pass any comments along to the relevant people.
