Since I could have been a Sadistician if I were crazy enough....

What are the other modalities and what are the outlyers?  We penalize
trading partners that don't get their EDIs in on time.  No excuse, there is
always a phone down the street at the gas station.

How do you handle the liablity issues of forwarding SMTP servers?  This
implies audit trails of EDIs enroute.  I would not want to be a small ISP
whose customers included some EDI users.  Too much liablity on my mail server.
