I'm using Residential SBC/Yahoo DSL and DynDNS and they don't block anything inbound. I guess since they're blocking Joe's traffic, it's sort of a hit or miss with SBC or Yahoo or ATT or whoever it is now. When I was on them, they blocked SMTP inbound and maybe (poor memory) 80 inbound. It's possible to run these services on other ports, but no guarantees that they won't use Layer 5-7 filtering to limit them. If you want to hast a reliable server, you have to get commercial-grade internet access and/or SDSL. FWIW, SDSL seems to provide the upstream requirements of a low-end service, and it not that expensive, *if* you can produce some income/donations for the service. -- If there's one thing we've established over the years, it's that the vast majority of our users don't have the slightest clue what's best for them in terms of package stability. -- Gentoo Developer Ciaran McCreesh pgpPqGu3Ubqaz.pgp Description: PGP signature

Unless you setup your sever(s) to receive requests from a non-standard port(s). Even then you'll want to be prepared to change ports if the bots catch on. -jm -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
