So validate the delivery address as being in your delivery area. (By zip code, likely.) What difference does it make if IP connections are in that area or not? Maybe I want to send some of your product my someone I know in your area, as a gift? What if I live there, am out of town and want to order something to arrive when I do? What if one half of a couple is out of town, the other home, and the out-of-town one wants to place the order? What if only "corporate", in Distant City, is allowed to make purchases? What if someone wants to see what is available in advance of arriving in town and making the order? What if someone wants to review what s/he bought while visiting your great town, and wants to refer to your web site? If the money is good, if the delivery address is local, then why not accept the order? Certainly prank orders can happen, but so can they happen with purely local transactions. The internet is not very location based. -kb Note: Even phone numbers are not very location based anymore. Vonage numbers can be anywhere (being internet based!) and cellphones travel while maintaining their same billing number. -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
