| Is Streamyx blocking Port 25?
I've been unable to send out emails (the domain uses its own SMTP server) for the last two hours.
I changed the port to something else (from default 25) and it works. Is Streamyx blocking my port 25?
I've turned off all firewalls etc.
The error msg (Outlook2007) is the standard "THe connection to your server is blocked. Pls contact ISP." |

| MITIGATING SPAM IN TM NETWORK
Dear valued customers,
Telekom Malaysia Berhad wishes to inform its customers about TM's initiative in combating spam in its Internet Protocol (IP) network to improve our quality of service.
Recently, many anti-spam organizations have blacklisted a large number of IP addresses from TM’s network. Due to this many customers have been unable to send emails from their mail server to companies who might be using database from the abovementioned anti-spam organizations.
These spamming activities by a small group have affected a large number of our customers, regardless of the nature of their Internet usage. .
Therefore, TM is taking immediate action to address this issue. Effective 3 December 2007, TM will block OUTBOUND Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) traffic or port 25 for all out going e-mails from dynamic IP addresses. Only Outbound SMTP traffic from smtp.streamyx.com and smtp.tm.net.my will be allowed.
With this implementation, Streamyx customers who have their own mail server will not be able to send e-mails. As an alternative, TM is providing an open relay server for these customers who use dynamic IP addresses. Kindly refer to »webmail.tm.net.my/info/proxy.html on how to configure your email client in order toutilize this relay server. Alternatively, your e-mail administrators can refer to »webmail.tm.net.my/info/smtp-proxy.html as a guide to configure your company’s email servers.
Please be assured that TM is proactively taking all possible measures to ensure that these spamming activities do not reoccur in the future. We seek your kind co-operation to implement the necessary security measures to protect your computers that are connected to the Internet from any e-mail abuse, virus infection, spyware and malicious code.
For further enquiries and assistance, email us at help@tm.com.my or call TM at 100 and select ‘Internet Services’.

Yeah... you should browse TM's website once a while but then if I'm not mistaken, they email all their customers already. |

| Doesnt seem to be across the board tho. Been monitoring this thread since it popped. To date, I'm still doing emails the classical way - smtp, pop, bla the bla - no issues/changes. IP: 60.x since dunno when. Mail drop is somewhere in Amrika.
XEQ. |

Ya I've been on them for 2 months now & they keep telling me they're not blocking.
Their workaround don't help me cus i'm using typical OE & Win XP.
All I can say is their screwing the majority of the customers instead of the abusers.
Sad sad sad but what to do? |

| The TM blocking only applies to users with their own mail server and these will know that they have one.
If you are just running a mail client like OE then there should be no problem.
Sending mail from OE via a 3rd party ISP is a different issue, the ISP will need to authenticate a TMNet user in some way to avoid relaying |

Regardless all the same whether port 25 or 3rd party smtp server. |
