I had a customer who's SMTP ports were blocked by SBC DSL (Yahoo! DSL). After telling the customer it was a problem with their fax machine (and charging them $60 for that little bit of false info), the customer called me because they still couldn't send mail. I immediately asked who their provider was and as soon as I heard SBC, I knew they were blocking port 25. As you all already know, SBC is rolling out port 25 blocks on ALL their DSL lines. I told the customer to call and insist they remove the filter, which after much trouble by the customer was finally removed.
GET THIS!!! SBC tried to get the customer away from us by telling them they put the filter on their circuit because *WE* are spamming and they had no choice. They mentioned us by name!!! Do you believe this??? Everyone please check with your customers to make sure they are not doing the same to you. I'm sending this to our attorney on Monday. Enough is enough.
