ISP's e-mail logs ALREADY give those ISPs a list of everyone you've ever
received mail from, or sent mail to, so I think your argument doesn't
really
impress me very much.
Will people *please* stop baldly asserting this. As far as I know, most
providers in the UK / EU do not retain traffic data for any longer than
they *have to* ( for business purposes ), the concern is that it may be
illegal to do anything more. In other jurisdictions where these concerns do
not apply, providers may have data retention policies in place for other
reasons.
The difference is that while mail logs MAY preserve some traffic data, many
proposals made in this group require that this data MUST be kept.
Accordingly, the burden of "securing" it is higher.
