Hi,
For the last few days, an ISP who shall remain nameless (but who's name in
octal is equal to 11) has decided to block outgoing SMTP connections to servers
abroad. They've done this unilaterally, without notifying customers, and, for
the first couple of calls to support, without admitting anything beyond
"there's a problem, we're working on it".
Only after slowly spelling out what my problem was (no, I don't want to send
e-mail via your servers, thank you) did I get them to log a request to unblock
port 25 from my home account (still waiting for my work account to be
unblocked).
I realize that spam is a problem, but this 'solution' strikes me as, how to put
it, inappropriate.
Am I the only linux-il subscriber affected? It seems to me that the more
customers that write/call to complain, the sooner they'll see the error in
their ways.
Pesach sameach,
Rony
