quote:At Earthlink, "port-25 blocking" means that Earthlink blocks *outgoing* requests for port 25 use because it means that the Earthlink customer is trying to send outgoing mail through another ISP's SMTP mail server. Since Earthlink is now so large, many of Earthlink's customers are spammers. By blocking outgoing port 25, it forces all customers to use the Earthlink SMTP servers to send mail. And in so doing, it makes it much easier for Earthlink to track down in its logs who sent out the mail when spam complaints come in. In other words, port-25 blocking helps an ISP spot spammers among its own customers.
