Both - and I've had it tested by externals scans which I have verified that the same people who cannot reach my port 25 can still reach my port 22 and my port 80 as well using grc.com's silly scan tool :-) I can't telnet to port 25 anywhere I've tried, even though I can telnet to 22, 100, 587 at the same addresses. But of course, they may all have port 25 shut off.

No, thats inbound traffic and it used to be over 8 Mb a day but I dropped off the the LKML and Fedora lists. Inbound traffic never bothered comcast. The two times I went over 200 small test nessages outgoing - they noticed immediately. > > > > And I can't seem to get Comcast to remove the port 25 block as it > > is rumored some have done. > > The surest way to do that is to upgrade to their "business" service. > ToS allows you to host services.

Especially after spending an hour and a half on the phone with their tech support manager today who basically lied to my face over and over again. Did you know that comcast doesn't block port 25? I WOULD pay $64 a month to {This scenario has been classified by DHS for strategic use at Guantanomo Bay } Comcast. I'd rather poke my self in the arse with a gasoline soaked flaming porcupine then pay comcast more money. (of course for some people thats apparently some kind of foreplay... ) :-) _______________________________________________ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss/
