Effective July 14, 2003, Cox Communications will begin filtering inbound
Dear All, I just received this info from cox who is my cable internet provider: Dear Valued Customer, traffic on ports 25 and 80 via cable modem connections. This will reduce the spread of viruses like Code Red, Nimda, and other viruses spread through Email. Filtering these ports will provide additional protection and improve performance for your Internet connection. This will not affect your ability to Send/Receive Email or access the Internet. This change only affects customers running an Email or Web Server, which is a very small percentage of customers.< I am not sure what this really means and if this is something to be pleased about or concerned about. Any ideas? Thank you, Marcia
