Port 587 vs. 25 [was: DNS Hijacking by Cox]

Mon Jul 23 09:23:16 UTC 2007

It's a lot more trouble for hosting providers that provide customers 
with webhosting and E-mail services.

We've had a lot of customers whose ISP decided it was a good idea to 
close down outgoing port 25, resulting in our helpdesk system being 
flooded with pissed off customers who suddenly weren't able to send 
E-mail through our mailservers anymore.
