DIE SPAMMER DIE!
Posted on April 11th, 2005 by Brian Corbino
I am officially pissed off.
Because of all the little punks and their spam-bot zombies, I can no longer use my third-party mail server. SBC is now blocking ALL traffic on port 25, INCLUDING TO THEIR OWN MAIL SERVERS. If you want to send mail on an SBC Yahoo account, you need to use the new SMTP Authenticated port of 587. Don’t forget to tell your mail client to log in, either.
It was bad enough when suddenly (and without any notice, I might add) the ability to send e-mail went away for my third-party server.
Just this evening, it went away completely. Until I happened to find a page on SBC about “Why am I unable to send email…” here that told me about port 587.
A little NOTICE would have been useful, guys.
Thanks.
