Full support from our side (once more) - don't hesitate - this is the way to go! Go my friends - but don't forget to document it properly first. There is NO reason using a different SMTP server then the ISP for outgoing mails for this type of connection. Anyone who is really enforced to use a dedicated SMTP server must use a VPN or ssh tunnel anyway. So it is - just like certain hard-wired proxies in place at certain service providers - not a limitation of the "free" connection.
To bad, it will take a while until the last Chinese and Korean ISP has done it, too. I'm so sorry, John. -Kurt. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Adrian Hauri Sent: Tuesday, January 27, 2004 3:07 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [swinog] New worm is spreading fast... One of the biggest ISP's here in Australia(Optus) started to block Port 25 from their own dial-up/cable customers to the outside world except to their mailservers. (If customers have to use your external mailserver, just run it on two ports like 25 and 8025) This approach prevents Optus from getting blacklisted and sending out viruses from their network. Probably worth to think about it.
