How does that work?  Typically users are running behind a NAT firewall
these days, aren't they?  So you can use the local IP address to find
out what ISP you're in.

And doesn't everybody just use smtp.gmail.com, anyway?  :-)

But, yes, that does seem like it would be nice to have.  I looked up my
own IP address there, and it said that it didn't have any info, so
perhaps it's US centric?
