Re: iPhone sending email on telstra

[Alexander Hartner]

Hi all,

Thanks for all your help and great information. I am also using SMTP 
authentication on port 25 with TSL/SSL on, but I am not able to send any 
messages neither from my iPad nor my iPhone. Both these are connected to 
telstra. Happy to hear that VF has the same issue so I won't try them. Also 
both these are on pay as you go. If I had to be "business packages" these might 
work.

I wil also try to speak to my local telstra dealer just to hear what they have 
to say.

 Hi Ronni,
 
 If this measure is to prevent infected PC from pretending they are mail
 servers it will definitely not work. Why would a spammer route their 
 traffic
 through the invested user's ISP default mail gateway. They would simply
 delivery it directly to the intended final destination. The same goes for
 spammers. They would simply setup their own mail server. What they would 
 not
 do, is use a 3G service provider for this as wireless data is simply too
 expensive. So as far this measure only prevents me from send email via my
 own
 mail server while connected to my ISP's network. Also in some cases
 upgrading
 to what they call business packages does not offer this "feature"

 "BigPond Dialup Business have plans that allow mail servers to be setup
 (particular for those that have static IPs associated with them.
 The BP Business MegaPOP numbers do not block port 25 to allow customers to
 continue hosting their own mail servers.
 ...
 Telstra has only blocked port 25 for DHCP allocated IP's. If you use a
 static
 IP, port 25 is available."
 
 As seems to be the case it doesn't even require any form of authentication
 nor
 do they verify that the purported sender is in fact valid. This in itself 
 if
 far worth in my opinion as the alternative currently implemented. For
