This isn't true - or rather, I think you misinterpreted Seans statement. Connecting to the internet, destination port 25, is blocked by verizon. You must use their smtp, webmail, or otherwise tunnel it. Personally, I ran smtp on port 2525 on my external server and used a dnat in my firewall to rewrite it for everything. > Port 80 inbound is a real problem.

I long ago gave up on running general servers on a home internet connection, as the next post says, linnode is very cheap for that kind of thing. FIOS was *excellent* when I lived in range for it, I'm very sad that I no longer do. Very few outages, very impressive latency and bandwidth, if you live in range for it, you really ought to seriously consider it. Plus, screw time warner. They're terrible. I'd go w/ fios just to give TW the finger. -m --
