You're talking net neutrality, and it's not illegal to block the ports from what I can see, every attempt to make it illegal has failed in the Senate. It hasn't stopped people from filing 'that's not fair' lawsuits though.

I know most cable providers block the standard server ports unless you cough up the extra cash for a business class account. --SJ SJ.Stanaitis - Network Administrator Decorative Product Source, Inc -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Robert M.

Comcast swore it wasn't them but I tested everything from the desktop PCs to the router and found that mail made it to Comcast but never made it to us. One day, after a month or so, the problem went away. Moral of the story: Comcast can do a lot of weird stuff without even knowing that they are doing it. It is quite possible that they are blocking your client's messages with attachments and they don't even realize it.
