No, I'm not worried about them seeing the content (it would bore them to tears). I'd rather know it just isn't going through the corporate network so I don't have to hear some admin whine about misuse of corp resources.

I don't use the BES browser for just this reason. The IP address resolves to a corporate domain. I use the cingular or internet browsers which resolve to att.com and blackberry.net respectively.

Thanks
I'm still looking into it, gnrxx. Thanks for your patience, and sorry for the delay.

I don't yet know if it goes through the corporate network, per se; I don't believe it does, as it doesn't require being on a BES to function. However, I do know that if you're on a BES, then the BES administrator may need to enable Y!M traffic.

More updates as further events warrant.
