thanks for the links, Scott - so we have confirmation!

I really hate it, when organizations / people are too lazy to think, and apply global restrictions even to the innocent people, rather than restricting only the guilty parties. It should not be that difficult to differentiate a spam relay/proxy from a legitimate email user. (traffic volume for one ...)

Shame on Telus !

So far, Shaw is behaving much better...


I doubt it will continue for much longer.
One more thing: why do ISPs still maintain SMTP servers? It's not too hard to set up a SMTP server for local use (at least on linux).

Has anyone else had problems with their email, specifically port 25 SMTP
in the following situation?


* email client is on Telus ADSL
* SMTP server is outside of the Telus network (e.g. Shaw or other)

I know on sendmail SMTP, one can configure it, to listen on port 587 in
addition to port 25; Postfix and Qmail may have something similar.

Hi,

Read these useless Telus bulletins:

http://www.mytelus.com/internet/alerts/detail.cfm?BulID=2374

Then, find out what's really going on by reading these:

ugh, thanks telus.
