Re: Port 25
Not only is running a mail server on a DHCP consumer line usually against the AUP of the ISP, the resulting outgoing mail looks like spam (it certainly won't pass SPF muster).

It's not against Roadrunner's AUP, but you're right, it may be against somebody's. That wouldn't keep me from running one, though.

The resulting outgoing mail looks like spam if the recipient's mail server uses the DUL. That's why I route outgoing mail through my ISP, and why I'm all for blocking outgoing port 25 - the end-to-end nature of the net as described in the article already is a relic anyway. See geolocation.


Sorry, but if you want to run a mail server, either get a business account (no blocking port 25), or convince your ISP to give you a static IP address and unblock port 25.

Sorry, bad advice. I've been running a mail server without problems for three years with a dynamic IP. OK, my "dynamic" IP hasn't changed since March 04 but if it does, I just update my MX record.
