No. The issue i'm talking about is cable / DSL users when INcoming 25 is
blocked to prevent then to function as a relay. About 60% of the spam I
get is caused by badly configured mailservers.
I also don't cause it a 'solution', it isn't. But it's been done, since
cable / DSL has enough bandwith to kill a mailserver.
I don't agree with ISP's blocking ports, but I can understand why they
made the decision.
