Re: Charter blocking Port 25

[matthew zeier <mrz () velvet org>]

But this is different - I'm not running a mail server -on- my Cox 
connection.  I'm running one external to Cox but I can't connect to 
port 25 on it.

In reality this isn't a problem for me but it is for those who don't 
know how to configure their mail readers for a different outbound port.
