\_ Greetings,
\_
\_ Just to keep things interesting, this morning AOL has begun rejecting e-mail
\_ from Cox broadband IP addresses. Here's the message:
As an amusing follow up to this, this morning I got mail saying that
cox was going to start blocking outbound connections to port 25 in an
effort to curtail spam. Retrieval not affected.
As far as I can tell, that'll stop the stupid spammers and make life a
bit more inconvenient until folks set up some amusing iptable rules or
ssh tunnels with a receptive PD server.
If you trusted cox to deliver your email in a timely way like you
trust them not to hose the DNS, then all you need is a valid resolvabe
from address and use pop.<region>.cox.net .
