Blocking Internet Traffic

Our policy from the very first was to not block any traffic unless it was causing harm to others. We have from time to time had to disconnect someone’s connection because of an attack coming from that connection. At this time due to the nature of the problem that the criminals are now more than ever out to steal your money we have to take a new course.

Port 25 is the default SMTP connection to send an eMail messages to other host computer systems on the Internet. By default at this time dial-up connections cannot send eMail via port 25 to host computer systems on the Internet. The next group that we are going to block port 25 traffic on is our DSL customers.
