: there is actually an Internet prohibition of use of the
: Internet to send email between different commercial email services.
For a look at this policy, you can ftp the following file:
nis.nsf.net:/acceptable.use.policies/nsfnet.txt
which you have to follow if you send packets through any NSFnet routers.
Let's all remember that Internet != NSFnet.
There can be no "Internet prohibition" since there is no one entity
that governs the entire global Internet. Although where the US is
concerned, NSFnet certainly controls the majority of the backbone
infrastructure.
