Hi,
a while back, we had quite some discussion about blocking of port 25
traffic by ISPs.
If you look at last night's Slashdot article "Comcast Port 25 Blocks
Result In Less Spam", I guess you'll understand better why ISPs do
such a thing - and that it is indeed a good thing (tm).
Blocking might have been a good idea...
- not telling users/customers in advance
- not documenting it
- not mentionning it on their website
- denying it on the phone and helpline
- not foreseeing that some customers might have problems and preparing
the hotline for it
et caetera
that's just worse than lousy and more than sucks
