This is the wrong way to go as it does not solve a problem, in fact it causes more. I use shaw as my ISP, but I _expect_ to be able to make an SMTP connection to anyone I like. I use TLS + SMTP auth on my own server and I would be very upset to be forced to use Shaw's SMTP servers. SSL/TLS secured services are a good thing, especially for remote/road warrior users where a VPN is simply overkill. Blocking outbound SMTP connections prevents this. Closing port 25 inbound to the end user does not really solve anything. It is the outgoing traffic that carries SPAM. > > Telus goes too far the other way...IMHO :) > > This is really biting Shaw in the ass though, not the first time it's > happened :s Even if rejected due to being listed on an RBL, mail should bounce with an error, not disappear.
