Problem 1
Well, they finally did it, they killed port 25. My understanding is that =
COX had been blocking most of port 25 for a long time, but they allowed =
connections to university domains up until this morning. Argg! Now they =
recommend using the cox smtp server, but I find that if I set my =
reply-to/from address to my university address, many recipients don't =
get my email (possibly some filter that sees mismatched reply-to/from =
and originating domain???).
Problem 2
I hate webmail. Especially when its broken microsoft department servers =
like this one. Microsoft Outlook web access has trimmed years off my =
life, I'm sure. (my aplogies to anyone who has trouble reading this =
email because of the stupid, broken IIS format)
So anyone have a good solution to sending email from a cox cable modem =
using university account? Or is there a way to fix my exim or sendmail =
so that my email aren't dropped when going through the cox smtp server?
Thanks,
