Since I am more or less mobile in a Motorcaravan, I have the need to go to Internet Cafes to send my (postponed) messages. Now, exactly since 7 weeks, the French ISP <http://www.free.fr/> is blocking port 25 and I can not more send ANY messages to my own ISP <http://www.freenet.de/>. "Free.fr" told me I should use there SMTP-Relay <smtp.free.fr> but it does not work, since 90% of receivers of my messages rejecting messages which come from SMTP-Relays which do not match the Domain- Part of the sender. My OWN courier server does this to and it 100% legitim. > required authentication - i'd say the same. > > Although it's of course possible to run unauthenticated submission for local > networks on port 587, I'd say that's very bad idea.

Not realy recommended because now, TLS/SSL does not more work and the password is transfered in clear text. On the other hand, it pass the proxy of <free.fr> and I can send messages again.
