Re: Deal with it..... Not necessarily, you just have to use your provider's SMTP server and you can have 3rd party email addy as the return addy, but you can still retreive incoming directly from the 3rd party news server.

Verizon doesn't block port 25. If they did, they would "probably" drop that authentication requirement and just go with standard user/pass authentication. Which is what Prodigy ended up doing before the Yahoo buyout.

What if your provider's SMTP server(s) is/are overloaded by the weekly Windoze worm? Then you are forced to wait for their overloaded server to deliver your email. |

The whole point of widespread port 25 blocking is so that there isn't excess traffic created by worms.

London, ON | That only works when the worm has it's own SMTP server. Most only use Outlook to send via the SMTP server set up in that program, which is almost always the ISP's server. Thus, it becomes overloaded. |

Unfortunately most ISP's usually limits the size of the e-mail that can be sent. My ISP limits me to 10Mb per e-mail. I connect to my works SMTP server so I can send larger e-mails. |
