Now that I've missed a month of TLUG mailings, Two questions:

...

2) (If this was a past topic refer to point #1) Does anyone know of sympatico mail accounts having problems with TLUG? I've tried 5 sympatico addresses and got no messages since early July, and would really rather not be using a Hotmail account for this.

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.

Doesn't sympatico have some kind of deal happening with M$? Knowing what I do about some of M$'s attempts to own data, I would be concerned if your emails are regarded as private. At least be encrytion ready. -- Keith Mastin BeechTree Information Technology Services Inc. Toronto, Canada (416)696 6070 -- The Toronto Linux Users Group.
