As you guys know, we block outgoing traffic for non-blessed apps. This causes a lot of confusion, not to mention an extra step whenever you want to write an app which accesses an external service, like Facebook or an RSS feed. But we need to do this to prevent abuse by spammers.
However, I suspect that the majority of abuse problems will come from sending email, that is, port 25. Whereas most of the outgoing traffic you'd want to send from a regular app would be web, that is, ports 80 and 443. So I've changed our firewall rules to allow 80 and 443 for all apps. Email is still blocked, so you'll still need a blessing if you want to send emails. (I don't suppose anyone knows of an email service that exports a REST API for sending mail?) Enjoy. :) Adam --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Heroku" group.
