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.

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...
