Re: [IMail Forum] Timeouts with SMTP for users

[NetQuick Mail Administration]

If I may remind everyone, Earthlink controls a large number of other
internet access companies (Sprint, Mindspring, etc.).  They have bought up a
lot of properties of late.  They change all of their newly acquired
companies to fit their policies in short order.  One of those policies is to
block access on port 25.  If you or a customer has any questions on this
just check the companies ownership will resolve this.

that would account for the problem).  The problem is the remote ISP blocking
access to port 25.  Say I host web/mail for "somedomain.com", and the person
who runs that domain uses MSN..  If they set up their mail server so that
they send mail through my mail server, MSN will block it.
