Email down

It appears that Comcast have decided that no-one should run mailservers at home, and are blocking port 25 both ways. Mail is therefore not getting through, at least until I can get it redirected to some other place where I have a mailbox.

Bah.

Can't you just listen on other ports?

Only if he can get everyone who sends him email to send it in the different port.

Er - that's not quite how it works.

Yes it is. Unless someone changed the specification for SMTP without telling me.

My apologies. I know our SMTP server is on a different port, but that's because it's a secure one.

I'll crawl back under my stone.
