My cable modem provider filters port 25, so I can't run my own SMTP server. Their mail servers suck. Yes, I could pay for a business class cable modem connection and they'd unblock the port... but I'd likely still be filtered. Guess who is having a dedicated 1U set up right now? ;-) I think Paul is right, there is a small niche market for this.
Hm, are there companies out there that offer outbound SMTP services (for people who are blocked, or which need a mail server thats not blacklisted because their provider isn't dealing with spam problems)? I never really looked into too much, but I haven't seen it offered on provider's sites outright. I was considering setting up a service like this (we have 2-3 outbound mail relay servers that are sitting idle because we don't need them yet), but wasn't sure how interested people would be. Like, say, setup a service that offers people the ability to send outbound mail through based on IP ACLs, possibly SMTP AUTH, TLS/SSL certs, and other things which could authenticate the sender, and have it accept SMTP on various other non-25 ports. -- Brian Bruns The Summit Open Source Development Group Open Solutions For A Closed World / Anti-Spam Resources http://www.sosdg.org The Abusive Hosts Blocking List http://www.ahbl.org
