Re: Blocking port 25 outbound

[Matthew Keller <kellermg () POTSDAM EDU>]

We implemented an outgoing (and incoming) port 25 block from (and to)
anything other than white-listed e-mail servers a couple years ago. We
had one faculty who was running her own mail server that got a little
bent, but we whitelisted her and it went away. Not a peep from the rest
of the campus community.
