In order to reduce email spam and open relays, BellSouth filters Port 25 (SMTP - Mail) for almost all residential accounts. If you are unable to send or experience sporadic email sending and use an email domain other than "bellsouth.net" you may be blocked. If you have a secondary (non BellSouth) email check the BellSouth Port 25 FAQ for more info. Currently, BellSouth only filters Port 25. If you have ports blocked (other than 25) check the configuration settings on your equipment or software (modem, router, firewall, or PC applications, etc).
