[Hidden-tech] Verizon Now Blocking Third Party Email over Port25

['David Morf']

Interesting about port 25. This action by Verizon as of earlier in 2009
coincides with advice at that time from Comcast to its customers that
Comcast has moved over to using port 25.  One gets the impression these guys
play ugly with each other without regard to transparency across email users.
Wouldn't take much to re-create the good ol' days when fire departments were
private insurance operations who would let your house burn down if you
didn't carry their policy.  Come to think of it, that sorta sounds like
today's managed care orgs and their payment subscription services when they
scrutinize health bills to see if you're too expensive to keep alive, when
push comes to shove.  How do the French put it?-approximately-plus ca
change, plus la meme.

Hi Charles,

 

Yup, I've noticed this also. Comcast started doing this around the  

beginning of the year, if I'm not mistaken.

 

Best,
