I just find it stupid that they would do something like this. It's one thing to block port 80 since running a webserver is against the AUP/TOS, but to block access to an outside mail server smells of crushing the competition and limiting choice.
No more stupid than people writing viruses and spam.
Anyone running an SMTP or web server on comcast is violating the TOS. All comcast is doing is shutting down these "rogue" servers to prevent them from being used for relaying spam and/or virus/worm propogation.
Of course, one can always give up on computers and become a farmer ;-)
Okay.. for the -LAST TIME- my parents are -NOT- I repeat are -NOT- running any kind of sever at all, NONE! They are trying to connect to MY server that is NOT on the comcast network to send mail.
