=>Hi all,
=>Comcast just nailed my port 25 access.
=>Can't telnet to port 25 anywhere that I've tried, but port 587 seesm to
=>be working lots of places.

Talk to comcast. RCN did this ages ago and now they get an extra 
$20/month from me for a "static ip address". It's not really static but it 
allows outbound 25 and  inbound 80.

=>
=>I am too much in love with direct control over my email to suffer being
=>reduced to 5 emails names and a pop connection for inbound mail, as well as
=>loathing the idea of losing the control an SMTP connection gives you.  And
=>I can't seem to get Comcast to remove the port 25 block as it
=>is rumored some have done.
=>
=>So I am looking for reccomendation for SMTP mail relay services.
=>
=>My current inbound load is about 3MB, 400 or so emails per day.
=>My outbound load is about 4 - 5 per day (averaged).
=>But some days will be 20 or 30 a day with 40 or 50 cc's on each.
=>(start of soccer season, I'm the local youth league scheduling
=>coordinator)
=>
=>Of course, cheap, reliable and with great customer service
=>are always desireable (pick any one.. :-)  )
