It blocks *incoming* port 25 traffic for well understood reasons. I never knew, though that it also blocks all *outgoing* smtp traffic except to it's own servers. Maybe to Winbots from emailing files back "home"? $ telnet bugs.debian.org 25 Trying 140.211.166.43... $ telnet smtp.east.cox.net 25 Trying 68.1.17.4... Connected to smtp.east.cox.net.
