They're not blocking outbound SMTP, they're proxying it. Yes, it would be disturbing if they did the same thing with SSH. I would rather not have SMTP or SSH handled in this way. However, I believe Shaw's ToS explicitly says they do not allow these types of servers. It's more Shaw turning a "blind eye" that allowed it to date. If you don't like it... Which brings us to the point that Shawn brought up. How about making an ISP that would allow this by letter of the law? I can foresee some legal difficulties with that, but I have to admit the idea is still enticing. My 2 cents, Curtis S. _______________________________________________ clug-talk mailing list [email protected] http://clug.ca/mailman/listinfo/clug-talk_clug.ca Mailing List Guidelines (http://clug.ca/ml_guidelines.php) **Please remove these lines when replying
