Bell South is blocking my e-mail
I just got DSL hook up from Bell South and found out that they won't let me send e-mail through any of my other mail accounts.
Bell South told me to just switch all my e-mail accounts to use their SMTP server, but I'm using a powerbook and bounce back and forth to different ISPs throughout the week -- I'm not going to spend all my time changing SMTP settings for my 11 POP accounts.
All I want to legally send e-mail through the mail servers that I normally use but Bell South is blocking port 25 so I can't. This sucks.
The short term blocking of a port do to an attack I can understand, but ISPs should not be allowed to permanently block the fundamental ports used in internet communication. It's just wrong.
