This dog is blocking the mails I send from work. We have a small office. connected via ADSL. We got a static IP address and got the ISP to reference the PTR record of that IP to a host name in our domain. This makes most mail servers in the world happy. Bug that specific dog is angry because there were some cases of spam in our neighbourhood. So the whole subnet is blocked. Now should I ask our ISP to to block port 25 to make the dog happy? -- Tzafrir Cohen | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | VIM is http://tzafrir.org.il | | a Mutt's [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | best ICQ# 16849754 | | friend ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
