Yup. Ubuntu 7.04 doesn't have the capability built into traceroute, but 7.10 does. Both have tcptraceroute in their repos though.

For Macs, you need to compile tcptraceroute from source. Not that hard see http://www.qsyssoft.com/machaxor/?p=4

For windows there is http://tracetcp.sourceforge.net/

Yeah. The 117,000 will only be a fraction of the global webmail sites. Many of them will be private (i.e. not open to the general public). SquirrelMail was just an easy example to get some figures for and it doesn't use "basic authentication".

1,000 excluded webmail sites is only scratching the surface. The Earl of Northesk said it better than I could - "There's a fundament issue there as soon as you start talking in those terms. If you've got to indulge in exceptions and abstracts to make the system workable then the system almost by definition has to be wrong."
