Full story (computerworld.co.nz) It will not stop you sending mail through the Xtra mail server as you do now. It only blocks you sending mail through port 25 to other than your ISP mail server such as from a virus infected computer with its own smtp |

| 362025 | 2005-06-08 04:04:00 | IIRC, Pop3 is port 110, correct? This of course will remain un-affected. Realistically, how many people these days use Telnet aside from getting to their router, and why are they not using SSH (Even on windows, SshWindows). Good idea if you ask me :) |

| 362026 | 2005-06-08 04:23:00 | What are you talking about Telnet for Chilling? Telnet is port 23. I'm not on Xtra, I use Orcon so hopefully they don't do the same thing. Or hopefully Telecom don't put the block in at their end of things. But it won't really matter too much for me, if I can't use my webhosts mailserver I'll just send things via my ISP one. I don't believe in port blocking though. But I guess it can help at times. |
