Re: Why do so few mail providers support Port 587?

2005-02-15 Thread Daniel Golding
relay. ISPs filter port 25 outbound, but leave 587 open with the idea that users would have to authenticate against distant mail servers on that port. Everything works well. 587 running SMTP auth (and relaying for authenticated users) and port 25 for local (non relay) delivery without authentication should be the default on all servers. -- Daniel Golding Network and Telecommunications Strategies Burton Group
