QUOTE(knightmare @ Apr 2 2008, 11:35 PM) i've read in the forum guiding to solve this matter go to your account settings....and change your email settings. change your smtpserver to smtp-proxy.tm.net.my and uncheck the 'my outgoing server requires authentication'. leave other settings remain at it is. and it will send your email out It only solve partial problems. For system admins like me, we need to test email servers directly. We can't have any ports blocked because tmnet engineers are too lazy to use proper way to solve problems. |

I can't connect to email server located in US through SMTP.
I am trying to send email through my server in US by connected to it via SMTP (port 25).
I think this does get blocked as it is "outbound" mail through SMTP. Cause I have no problems using Maxis broadband doing same thing.

QUOTE(ozs @ Apr 7 2008, 04:54 PM) i think you still can use the email client. blocking outbound 25.. that doesnt mean you cant connect to your mail server out there.. you're connecting to port 25 not from 25.. traffic to port 25 still widely open for me here.. their main purpose is to avoid any user to use their own email server for sending out spam.. What is your IP? As stated in tmnet's statement, this will be done in stages. Probably your IP range is still no implemented yet. Also, this only affects dynamic IPs. Those using corporate package will have fixed IP and that will not be blocked. This post has been edited by abubin: Apr 7 2008, 05:10 PM |

They are trying to block spammer. Usually, spammers sent out emails by just sending an email directly out through port 25. Don't really need to have email server.
I am going to call tmnet to complain tonight. I just hope the support doesn't piss me off to dead with their stupid questions.

yup, i have but it's stupid and annoying for tmnet to do such a thing. It's too extreme to block outbound SMTP. Anything going out now must go through smtp.tm.net.my
I hope their smtp server can't cope and then go offline every hour.

It's not a good idea to do this for an ISP. They can't use corporate mentality to run the business. They the the ISP!! How many ports can they block? Today they block port 25, tomorrow port 110 and so on. Pirates, spammers, hijackers and so on will always find other ports. This would means blocking whole range of ports in the end.

QUOTE(rajulkabir @ Apr 8 2008, 02:18 AM) My company email server is in the US too. I deliver send mail to it on port 587. I can send mail using TM's SMTP server. I can use a VPN to reach my company server on port 25. I can set up a redirector at the company to allow to use some other arbitrary port. There are many different solutions, most of them very easy. Next, spammer with be using port 587 to spam. Virus/malware will be written to use port 587. Next, tmnet block port 587, then what? |
