"Microsoft SQL Server is a database application with a long history of
security exploits, and is noted for the propagation of the SQLslammer
worm. These ports are filtered to prevent exploitation and propagation
of such MS-SQL exploits."
The rest of that article and its rationales is somewhat FUD. A
bandwidth cap or so would be more affective at curbing such virii and
upstream usage than a simple network block. It's all about charging
users every last cent (for static IP, unclocked ports, business
contracts, etc)
On an off note, I didn't know that they blocked port 25 EXCEPT for cox
servers. What a load of sh*t. Sounds like we're all staying at some
third rate hotel.
