    What you're saying is you've got a khrappy internet-provider...

    Mine is so khrappy they didn't even know they were blocking 25. I decided not to fight them on it too much as I did not want them realizing they
    could block other ports, too. :O

    It's fairly common to block port 24 here to force a commercial account. I shifted to port 25 to get around it.

    Just wondering ... in the US could that be considered a violation of the ammendment?

    Pretty sure most if not all US and Canadian ISP's by default block port 25 a many require that you sign up for expensive business plans to have a static and open ports... as I had to.

    Yup. BTW I said port 24 a minute ago, meant port 23 (telnet). Cox cable did that 3 years ago and we dropped them. A year later they refused to host email at a reduced price and required you pay the full pagage ans swap back to them. I got rid of cox for good.
