2 edits | Re: decent speed, but blocking ports said by BlockedMyPort :  They block port 25 and force you to use their smtp server instead. They don't disclaim this, and won't admit to it via their customer service line. I finally got a supervisor on the phone who explained that they don't block, they "restrict." Almost all ISPs block port 25. I don't agree with it, but there isn't much you can do about it, except deal with it. If you want to use someone else's SMTP server, that usually involves using a diferent port. Port 465 is common. They don't block that one.
Check with the people running the mail server that you want to use. They should be able to tell you what other incoming ports they support.
If you want to physically host your own email server, ATT/Southeast will supposedly unblock port 25 at your request. If they won't, this company can help for a small fee.

| Re: decent speed, but blocking ports I think it is wrong to block any ports. I understand blocking ports for users that do not know how to protect them self. But do we live in China or is this a free country? If no company owns the internet but simpley sells access to it why should they be allowed to decide what you have access to?
In the end it does not matter since we will always find a way around the blocks they spend time and money putting in place. Waiting for when they try to block encrypted data since they can not see what you are doing. I hope to see a day when we use more free and open wireless and not depend so much on over priced ISPs. | |
