During this work-around though, it was let slip (by a BigPond support

could use what ever ports they want - both inbound and outbound

tracking virused users becomes a hell of a lot easier. The application
process wasn't an approval/disapproval process but more "if you ask for
one, you'll get one". Maybe your customer can contact BigPong and ask
them for a static IP and then everything (should) be back to normal :)
For a little consideration of $10/month, of course.
Really? At the time the tech I spoke to said it was $0 thing because the
ACCC would get upset if they started filtering internet access (like port
25) then charged extra to get the original service back. Or has the ACCC
done its usual "too hard" trick and decided to roll over for the big
players?
No, thats for the fixed IP.
Gah - glad I'm not with Telstra for internet anymore.
