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.
This has long been the practice, to block spammers. I use port 465 with SSL/TLS and have for years. It's just normal operation here. Are you saying your ISP will not allow you to use 465?
That is so, Telefonica does not provide it, connections to that port timeout.
One benefit of using SSL/TLS is your traffic is encrypted to the server. Port 25 traffic can also be encrypted.
Likewise, I use IMAPS to receive my email, as it's encrypted.
That one is different thing. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from openSUSE 15.0 (Legolas))
