One of the example you give was voted by the Swiss people (Casino blocking). ISP have no say in that matter. Some countries go way further in blocking "content" (as was mentionned on the list earlier). But here, we are discussing additional security measures that some ISPs, including Swisscom, are taking: Swiss people did not vote yet about blocking malware. And Swisscom also blocks / intercepts / redirects SMTP for quite a few years now, for end users. On port 25 (not on 587 nor 465 AFAIK). I think they are pretty unique in that aspect (other ISPs usually simply block incoming port 25, they don't AFAIK filter out outgoing). > Use other DNS-Servers if you want to be "free", but accept the risk. That could be a solution: an opt-out. It *seems* to me that Sunrise, e.g., actually even offers an opt-in, as their firewalling service is usually valued at 5 CHF/month but in essence free to the end user (not sure what it really does) and can be refused when ordering. In my opinion, the most important thing is that the blocking be documented to the end-user, even on every month's invoice, and that opt-out (or opt-in) be offered for everything that is not compulsory by law. Have a nice day. ___ swinog mailing list -- swinog@lists.swinog.ch To unsubscribe send an email to swinog-le...@lists.swinog.ch

I see, here you can see a more detailed feedback (mostly from users though): https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/outlook_com/forum/all/microsoft-outlook-365-server-blacklisted-by-spam/851d8fc4-11b9-445a-860b-1704897a02b2 A customer of mine was hit with his problem, and I suggested work-arounds and to show the customer customer's the extent of the problem. The obvious solution would be that everyone gets a Microsoft hosted mail service and drops independant service providers :) NB: apart from the joke, it gets every day more complicated to manage an independant SMTP provider, notably due to a very feelable concentration of individuals, but also enterprises within one or two GAFAMs: unfortunately we no longer live in an Internet world where we can say "Microsoft is irrelevant": most universities and enterprises seem to have been lurred there. ___ swinog mailing list -- swinog@lists.swinog.ch To unsubscribe send an email to swinog-le...@lists.swinog.ch
