[NMLUG] Fwd: bounced email

[KenGLong at comcast.net (Ken Long)]

Just my opinion but...

Blocking all port 25 usage except to the ISPs servers is an extreme 
move that is done only by lazy ISPs. I can fully understand and support 
blocking all direct email transmissions from non-business cable modem 
customers but many people do send through smtp servers other than the 
ones provided by the ISP and blocking all port 25 use seems 
unreasonable to me.
