Haven't noticed that blocking yet. Outbound was fixed easily enough.
Also don't recall getting any notice about those plans! They turned on a
new 'spam blocking' feature that I promptly disabled.
To quote Python: 'I told 'em we already got one....'
This is one of thone times I'd hop over to one of those nice static-ip,
server friendly ISPs but the idea of two weeks downtime on my broadband...
Yikes.

There was a thread approx a month ago on can.internet.highspeed with
Sympatico users complaining bitterly that Sympatico is now blocking
*INBOUND* (yes, I said *INBOUND*) port 25, as well as outbound port 25
to/from user IP addresses. You must now use Sympatico's MTA for all
email activity, unless you ssh-tunnel (or something similar) to another
site.

Email users are divided into two classes;
1) Those who have effective spam-blocking
2) Those who wish they did
