If you are just using e-mail client like Thunderbird/Eudora this will not affect you. Do you run a SMTP server?

Hi,

Even if you use email clients like Outlook Express/ Thunderbird/ Eudora, you will still face this problem.
If you have outlook or thunderbird, when u define your email settings, you will see a setting for outgoing mail server. This is where port 25 will come into play.
When you configure for incoming mail server, you use pop3 or imap. Not SMTP.

I've already lodge a complaint/report to TM about this. We need more users to complain so that OUR voice can be heard!!

You are so wrong about this. If you have your own SMTP server, you can use them to send e-mails. You are not restricted into using TMNut SMTP servers only. Do you really think TM will block third-party POP/SMTP e-mail providers? If they do I will go straight to MCMC and make a complaint.

It is when you have SMTP server using Streamyx dynamic IP address then you will have problems. Now, did you run a SMTP server at home? Did TMnut block usage of non-TMNut SMTP servers? For the latter, it seems that they don't. I have my own SMTP server, running to receive traffic at port 25, and if TMNut blocked me from using it, there will be hell to pay. But TMnut did not, so who am I to complain?

And yeah, I support TMNut move to block home SMTP servers from being operated.
