What is the major problem with just relaying through their servers? Some
bizzare pricacy concern? They are allowing relaying from their entire
subscriber netblock anyway. If you're that paranoid about privacy then you
should reconsider your choice of communications medium in the first place
rather than worrying about Bellsouth.
