Since Chris did not make this point in the past few mails, I want to jump in and answer to the question 'Why ISP's would not also start refusing port 587 from now on'.
This question was asked a few mails ago. The answer is: The normal SMTP ports are being blocked to ousiders because just anyone who is not a direct traceable customer of the ISP can dump in any mail he or she desires and hence embark in spamming. The port 587 is a second entry port to the mailserver for delivering mail-to-be-sent-out, but the difference is that an authentication is being asked first, so that even when you ask for the services of your home ISP to forward your mails onto the net, and you happen to be on the road (via other ISP's that is), you will first 'tell who you are', and after that you can dump in whatever mail you like. But if it is spam, then your name will be on record. Hope this clarifies a little.. Marc (who is less active because he is a full time nurse within the family since a couple of months and ongoing) PS: does anybody have a UPS or FEDEX account that could be used to ship me some spare parts for computers. Dont mention your account on this list, burt drop me a mail in private. I am buying some spares at a US company, but they dont want to ship to Europe unless I have a registered UPS or FEDEX account. We do not have enough shipments to have such an account. cb wrote on 24-06-2007 03:26 * * * Start of original message text * * * >On Jun 23, 2007, at 4:13 PM, Bill Williams wrote: > >> Well, this setup to make [EMAIL PROTECTED] use Port 587 sounds good to me, >> since we >> travel with a G3 iBook which has [EMAIL PROTECTED] installed.
