More and more ISPs are blocking port 25 outbound on consumer feeds to fight spam. I'm pretty sure that's what you're seeing. You have two options: (1) Configure their system to relay through Comcast's SMTP relay when on Comcast's network, or (2) use an alternate means of submission. An "alternate means of submission" might mean adding an additional SMTP listener on a non-standard port; using an MSA (Mail Submission Agent); using a tunnel of some kind (such as with SSH or IPsec). -- Ben Scott <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | The opinions expressed in this message are those of the author and do | | not represent the views or policy of any other person or organization. | | All information is provided without warranty of any kind. | _______________________________________________ gnhlug-discuss mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss
