This is why many people now use email such as hotmail, gmail or similar so it doesn't matter where they log on.

This send only when "on net" has been in place for many years.

It isn't about cost cutting really, it's about the misuse of VM's servers and prevention of same. I suppose VM could enable other authentication measures for remote clients that are "off net", but that would affect on net customers too, adding to the complications and errors that many customers already get confused about in their setups. It's easier for them just to autheniticate based on the IP.
