Several large operators have started closing outgoing smtp traffic (other than to their mail servers) in response to the multitude of spam zombies on DSL or cable lines.
It's true that this does suck for people who were knowingly running legit mail servers, but it's a case of the good of the many vs. the good of the few. Grit your teeth, wait till they reopen port 25 for you and relay through their mail server till it's done. /t >-----Original Message----- >From: Jeff Houser [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] >Sent: Monday, April 25, 2005 4:07 PM >To: CF-Community >Subject: DSL Provider blocking Port 25 > > I can't send e-mail, but recieving it is okay.
