\_ SMTP quoth Mike Starke on 7/2/2003 20:30 as having spake thusly: \_ \_ I am just curious; why would cox block inbound 25 & 80, \_ but not ftp(21)? \_ \_ Certainly ftp has the potential for hogging bandwidth, \_ not 25. I know 25 had some spam implications, but hell there \_ is software to govern folks that are out of hand there...but why \_ leave ftp open? \_ \_ I have no need for an ftp server, but found this curious. No wildfire windows-ftp-compromising virus yet? David
