Re: Charter blocking Port 25

But this is different - I'm not running a mail server -on- my Cox connection. I'm running one external to Cox but I can't connect to port 25 on it.

In reality this isn't a problem for me but it is for those who don't know how to configure their mail readers for a different outbound port.

Many of 'em do. If your contract says you can run servers on
your connection, then you should call and complain.

On the other hand, if Charter prohibits running servers on your
connection...well, you get what you pay for.

Either way, this is one of those issues where everyone has an
opinion and they've all been stated before.
