362013 2005-06-08 00:19:00 Its a good move, yanking mail access away from an infected computer is a good start, Though I personally believe ISP's should be forced by law to yank all access from comps or networks broadcasting scumware out over the net. Metla (12)

362015 2005-06-08 03:10:00 "O No" says scumware creater Harry Felcher "They're bocking port 25, i'm going to have to write something that uses port 434 instead"

"O No" says telecom, "there's crap on port 434, lets block that too!"

"Darn" says scumware creater Harry Felcher "i'll have to use port 1234 now!"

"O No" says telecom, "there's crap on port 1234, lets block that too! Lets kill port 80 while we are at it!"

etc etc etc.

"Why doesnt the net do much any more?" says everyone connecting through telecom.


This is not the answer, unless port blocking is used SPECIFICLY to block infected machines only. :stare:
