All queries to Chello regarding this matter have gone unanswered. $ telnet smtpgate.chello.at 25 Trying 213.46.255.2... Connected to smtpgate.chello.at. Escape character is '^]'. 421 viefep12-int.chello.at connection refused from [66.154.97.250] Connection closed by foreign host. This happens for all Chello domains I have tried. This means that Chello users are unable to use the FreshPorts notification service. For what it's worth, this also affect the FreeBSD Diary announcement mailing list. If anyone has contacts at Chello, please ask them to look into this. All attempts to get this resolved have been blocked. I've heard many stories about Chello standards of service. This situation validates everything I've heard. cheers -- Dan Langille : http://www.langille.org/
