| The Truth be known Actually on Verizon Biz accounts simple DNS hosting is still available for customers wanting to host their own web\mail servers. They are not and will never be blocking port 25 to my knowledge. With their Biz accounts this is a free service. Web-hosting is another story though. As far as changing their consumer e-mail policy this was just to stop relaying, or potential spam. If it was your mail server would you want thousands of junk e-mail blocking up your servers? I think you would see it a little differently if you were the one working on it or paying for it's upkeep to handle that. I personally run my own web/e-mail server, and get continual bombardment from people trying to access my SMTP ports, think of how many hits a server on that kind of channel would get. |
