Okay, I'm surprised [Telefonica] doen't block that. It's usually the very first anti-spam measure access providers use.
Well, that's the thing, they don't block any port that I know. You may be able to browse windows computers shares across internet here. I remember that I got such attempts when I was using a modem, not a router with NAT.
I have not heard of anyone blocking outbound traffic on anything but port 25.
And I like they don't block anything! I find disgusting that Bell is blocking my access to Telefonica. If someone is using the net to spam, kill that person full access, not everybody access to some port.
It is simple, if someone uses port 25, investigate.
A waste of time and effort. It is even simpler, block 25, let everyone use 587, as it was always intended. Port 25 is for MTA-to-MTA transfers.
I find blocking 25 intrusive on my freedom.
I expect the provider's answer to your complaint will be "you're free to vote with your feet".
Well, I prefer Telefónica's method of not blocking anything. My complaint would be towards Bell, but I'm not their client. If I were to reside here I would try to seek a better provider. And I have asked Telefónica to implement submission support. I also find Bell's service very expensive compared to Telefónica. Others providers here similarly expensive. USA gets better pricing, I'm told. My host is paying more than 130(?) CAN for an ADSL, no TV. For a similar price in Spain I get fibre, phone, TV, Internet (300Mb/S), and mobile. Unlimited calls, flat rate, mostly. It is also about impossible to purchase non-blocked mobile phones here, except on Amazon or similar. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
