FW: Comcast blocks port 25 incoming, yet again

[Joshua Ronne Altemoos]

Where do you live Jeff?? I live in Milford. They rolled out FIOS, but never
made it live because VZ knew it was pulling out. So I am at a lost with
that. Damn VZ/FP...

Just thought I'd add a positive word about VZ/Fairpoint FIOS existing 
install. I have not had any downtime
since getting it installed a little less than a year ago.

Just did a test

15591 kbps down and 1653 kbps up

Which matches pretty well 'typical' speeds for real world (though I 
occasionally have seen better upload speeds).
