Re: Port 25 blocking

[Clyde Hoadley <hoadleyc () MSCD EDU>]

Metropolitan State College of Denver has been blocking outgoing
TCP connections to port 25 (except for designated mail services)
for about 4 months now.  I also wanted to block POP and IMAP
but was over ruled.  We've only received two complaints and those
were easily appeased.
