Re: Charter blocking Port 25

Cox also filters your e-mail on their SMTP server such that if it contains
both words "root" and "password" it will get silently dropped.  This is
why I'm using an alternate port to bypass their SMTP server (or you
wouldn't get this e-mail).

Cox does, and Adelphia is moving that way.

Good job, Charter.

Hello,

I would like to hear from Charter Communication's network/security team
why they have filtered outbound port 25 without any notice as of yesterday.

Does anybody else know of other cable/DSL providers that simply block
outbound port 25?

thanks
