Comcast blocking port 25 (i.e. email port)

jesus christ, did it take them a decade to come up with this solution?

all ISP's should be blocking port 25 on all residential subscribers. everyone should be using the smtp servers anyway.

thats fucking stupid.

I dont want to use the ISP's SMTP servers - thats bullshit.

I have a domain, with my own email server running for a reason.

I am on comcast, and I have not noticed that happen yet and if it does im taking down the whole fucking east coast.

post the motherfucking story too, im not going to fucking register to read.

been that was for awhile now on my cable provider

wtf, the link was working before

If you are using a server on a residential ISP connection, you are the dumbass

Nice sig

hehe, you can spot some idiots from a mile away :1orglaugh

I won't say which port, but there are Other Ports on a server you can send email through, ask your host. I had this happen to me a couple of years ago with a Suck Ass ISP, blocked port 25 so I couldn't send email through my server, one quick phone call, change port settings, Bam... Email sends again (just not through port 25). :Graucho

Just my :2 cents:
