Another reason to hate SBC

Jim Drewes Posted on Fri Jan 28 21:44:35 CST 2005

Do we need another reason to hate SBC DSL? Probably not, but they gave me a new reason anyway.

SBC implemented a port 25 block, which prevents DSL users from accessing things through port 25. What this means is, if you try connecting to an outbound mail server, it craps out on you. The idea is that it prevents spamming viruses and things like that from using your computer as a spam bot. Fine. But at least give me some warning. I couldn't send email for days until I opted out of the block.

Here is a link to their release about this issue.
