I've always had success using the ISP's email smarthost for outgoing mail, to get around that. They sometimes require authentication, though, which can be tricky to configure in some MTAs. I think Comcast requires you to authenticate to their smarthost, for example. Speakeasy (my current ISP) doesn't block ports, but a lot of Internet sites reject mail from IP ranges they identify as DSL or cable modem blocks, so I send through the smarthost anyway. Now, a more difficult problem is that some ISPs block *incoming* port 25, but that's a different discussion. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
