And ditto for SWBell, SWBell reported that port 25 is blocked for all
their customers in Houston in December but my stepdad's office network
has no problem at all connecting via port 25 to his domain host's
server (mine) to send out mail.
Plus I still see tons of SWBell zombies sending out directly thru port
25, here's a few entries from a dictionary attack earlier tonight:
