cox & ftp

\_ 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?
