Hi John

I would agree except that as I understand they have closed the port to absolutely EVERYONE no matter what? If your ISP is blocking port 25 outbound please could you explain how anyone will ever deliver mail out from any server? This guy is clearly representing a business and unless I have missed something here has been told he cannot have port 25 opened no matter what?

Please feel free to correct me if I am mistaken or have misunderstood something.

Regards,

Paul Lemonidis.

If your ISP are so hopeless that they think blocking all outbound mail
from
their own customers is the only to control traffic I can only suggest you
change ISP's ASAP. This is the equivalent of "the client services
telephone
hepldesk is mowed under with calls so we will just turn off the phone and
ignoe all the calls"!!!!!

Actually, I would prefer that all ISP's block all outbound port 25 except for business lines AND when a user documents the need to have outbound port 25 open. You must not be paying attention to the fact that 90% of the current viruses AND spam is coming directly from compromised home computers. If their ISP's were blocking outbound port 25...
