We offer the full spectrum of authenticated services to our users, most of whom
are frequent travelers within Asia, within Europe, the Americas and among those.
But not on port 25. We *hope* that one will be blocked by the conenctivity provider.
Submission ports and their protocols are given simply different rulesets.
We *expect* their IP blocks to be blacklisted also, so that is not a test
applicable to authenticating MUA submission.
Haven't had to change an MUA setting in *ages*, whether in a Hotel in Spain or a
T-Mobile 'hotspot' anywhere.
