If outbound port 25 is blocked, then that is not our fault. Though I tend to avoid anything that might result in a tech support call, this is not a problem we've created: we did not block outbound port 25. And since it protects the customer's identity, since we have workarounds (web mail) and since it helps to fight the overall spam problem, I'm certainly willing to take that tech support call.

And while the webmail is a fine application it doesn't allow integration with a users existing Outlook address book, etc. Mark Thornton San Marcos Internet, Inc 512-393-5300 ----- Original Message ----- From: "David Payer" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, January 09, 2004 11:18 AM Subject: [Modus] SPF Records > * This is the modus mailing list * > > This person should be doing SMTP authentication so they would be allowed to > send. > > David > > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Mark Thornton" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Sent: Friday, January 09, 2004 10:17 AM > Subject: [Modus] SPF Records > > > > * This is the modus mailing list * > > > > The problem with SPF's is I have no way to publish the appropriate SPF for > a > > traveling client who may be connecting via earthlink today.
