Background: my normal mail setup uses Postfix on my laptop to send
outgoing mail. My university has blocked all outgoing ports except 80
(and they may have a transparent proxy in front of that) and 443 on
their wireless network. My laptop cannot contact its normal mail servers
on any port. (I happen to run those servers, but I already have
processes listening on 80 and 443 on the relevant servers!)
What will always work :
1) is a mobile-phone/pda with email built in (ie blackberry)
2) cheap telstra/3/optus usb internet adaptor plugged into your n/b
Benefits of the above is that it won't violate your fair-use agreement
that you have with the uni. But it will allow you to send whatever
file it is that you need to send.
Some people i know always get a connection using a vpn back to their
server. Then they can do whatever it is they need...
Can't tell you exactly how they do it... because i never bothered to
ask for the details. But shouldn't be too tricky to figure out.
