Hello to all folks who's port 25 is blocked...
I've noticed some postings on people changing and jumping from
different ISP's because their port 25 is blocked. I run on Bell
Sympatico and on my ultra fast DSL, the port 25 is exclusive only to
SMTP servers and does not let you connect to other SMTP servers.
This is a painful change, but necessary as per their claim - to
prevent spam & having spyware & malaware generate automatic e-mail
from innocent folks computers. With the tough regulations on SPAM in
North America & West Europe, and no regulations on SPAM from other
parts of the world - truly makes things difficult for legit users like
those in this group.
I think jumping to another provider is really not necessary. Your
Linux box has amazing capabilities to do what you need to do.
Anyhow...... what I have done to work around my port 25 at home is
quite simple. Instead of having the * machine behave as a mail server
trying to send out e-mail directly to the world, I've configured it
(the mail server) to act as a smart host, routing ALL my * related
email, to my Sympatico e-mail account, through SMTP authentication (of
course). All e-mail going out, passes through Symaptico mail
servers. You cannot simply relay mail to Sympatico M.S. As long as
you get your Linux mail server, behaving like an e-mail client,
connecting to Sym. M.S., your e-mail will go out.
When this is done, you can create as many users on your Linux box and
have those users send mail out.
Hope this helps.
Cheers!
Reza.
