Fix an SBC Yahoo outgoing email issue with .Mac
This does work. I posted this original message (not sure why it showed up anonymous) and used the procedure on my DSL for my home and business accounts. It's important to note though, that according to SBC you will have use the automated web page to "opt-out" for each sub-account you have. After you do this you'll get an email instructing you to reset your DSL modem and router if you have one. Alternately, changing your outgoing port to 587 will work too. I tried it first. But, I have no idea if that works for non-.Mac accounts and it won't work for any visiting guests trying to use your connection. As to the safety of doing this... Port 25 blocking is designed to protect the ISP, not you. They block Port 25 to stop out-of-control Window's PCs from spewing automated junk mail and clogging up their bandwidth. Some would argue that by opting out of this "feature" you're being a poor net citizen. But I choose not to be inconvenienced by Microsoft's flawed operating system. I have already done my part to protect the net... I bought a mac.

This is *absolutely* unacceptable. SBC sock puppets are wandering forums such as this one, telling users to bypass port 25 -- as if it's *our* fault. |
