Tor I don't know why you responded in the negative. The *default* exit policy, which is to say, the exit policy in effect when no exit policy is specified in torrc, does block TCP port 25 (smtp). It is the smtps port that is no longer blocked by default. However, there is often a number of routers that do have exit policies allowing exits to port 25, so sometimes connection attempts for port 25 will work. >does warn you, though (I have one email account that I cannot make a >secure connection with due to the setup that is out of my control). >Also, I do not use the Windows firewall (it's junk anyway).

I've never had issue with connecting to port 25 through Tor, either in the default rc that comes with the Vidalia bundle or the rc that I downloaded as a recommendation from the Wiki (link in archives somewhere, might post it if requested). I just get a warning that I'm attempting an insecure connection. Sorry, meant to send to list. -- PIT signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

isn't email (i.e. tcp/25) blocked by default as a exit policy?
