  • Port 25 Blocking

    From KIDD WICKED@46:1/125 to ALL on Thu Jan 31 19:20:16 2019
    Well I tried to pop up an email server.. sending mail just fine but no go
    on getting it. went to intodns.com to check my dns stuff and all looked
    good.. found out isp blocks port 25. Figures.. Well if you ever run into this just setup your email server to listen on port 26 and go to ghettosmtp.com
    and they will port all your mail from 25 to 26 and shoot it to you for free.. too cool.. But maybe some day they will allow port entries into the zone file so we can control this ourselves..

    What did you end up settling on for a server software?

    Thanks for the other links too, I had never heard of them!

    Regards,

    Sounds interesting -- I'm using dnsexit.com, for a price they host my
    domain on an alternate port and connect to me on it. Works like a charm,
    and they have half-decent domain controls as well.
