110 is definitly open. I don't know of any ISP that blocks that on the outbound. It would prevent you from using any other POP3 mail server, which would probably tick off 99% of their possible customers. (in other words, an ISP that blocks port 110 outbound probably will not be in the ISP game very long). They also are not blocking port 25 outbound, as I never send thru Verizon's mail server, and I have no problems reaching my own mail servers to send email. Although blocking port 25 outbound is starting to become common (it is something I object to in an ISP so I hope Verizon doesn't start doing it). It remains up in the air if they are blocking port 25 inbound on residential class service. It would not surprise me if they are (they were not in the past, but it was said this started sometime around the start of the year, which is after I last tested it). -chris <http://www.mythtech.net> ############################################################# This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list <[email protected]>.
