[xmail] Re: Multiple ports?
If they are blocking you from connecting to other servers on port 25 then changing yours to another port will make no difference. They are filtering on where you are connecting to, not from. Now if it's incoming connections to your smtp server on port 25 that they are blocking then yes you could change it with the command line options, but other servers will not know how to connect to this new port. So if it's outgoing that is the problem then just gateway all your outgoing traffic through your ISP. If it's incoming that is the problem you'll probably have to drop all your mail into a mailbox at the ISP and then POP it from there to xmail.

Our server is @ Hurricane Electric, they cannot block any of my ports. What im saying is that more than one ISP blocks the outgoing PORTS of the subscribers. By listening on multiple ports you could configure your email software to use an alternate port and send email without any problems. Bellsouth as one example has HORRIBLE email servers and has a 10MB size limit. -Mensaje original- De: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]En nombre de Bill Healy Enviado el: Wednesday, January 22, 2003 5:24 PM Para: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Asunto: [xmail] Re: Multiple ports?

[xmail] Re: Multiple ports?
They can't block outgoing ports because those are dynamically assigned most of the time. What they can do is look at the port you are trying to connect to, such as SMTP 25. So yes they are blocking outgoing connections, but not based upon where you are coming from, but where you are going to.
