It used to be a common practice for porno sites to setup on cable then spam the world with a throwaway URL, collect their credit card payments for their porno which they generally stole from other porno sites, then move on when they got booted. However they are not common on DSL for reasons I explained elsewhere. But with port 25 your ISP really has it backwards. The block is = supposed to be for OUTBOUND traffic for a DESTINATION of port 25. This prevents your ISP from hosting spammers and viruses. Blocks on INBOUND traffic with a destination of port 25 are useless. Ted
