Even when they blocked port 25 for me bidirectionally (evidently sending 6 gigs through that port made me look like a spammer, even if it was all to the same address ;) ), and I called security assurance and they listed that among all the open ports I wasn't allowed on a residential account, even then, they still didn't block port 80 (or 26, 22, 21, 110, 993, or any other port!). -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
