[ale] Sendmail and Bellsouth

[Rob Fauls]

I left bellsouth because they are blocking port 25...you can use an 
alternate port, but thats only good if you already have a mail server 
outside the bellsouth network.  This issue with bellsouth has caused me 
to change isp to Atlantic Nexus.  I had one day without internet, but 
other than that, they have proven to be just as reliable as bellsouth 
over the past 2 months.  They also usually pickup phone support after 2 
rings, no wait.  I highly recommend them. They dont block any ports, 
that the biggest thing with me, and thats the problem you are having, 
when everything boils down.  The only way to get bellsouth to open your 
port 25 is to buy a business account from them, then pay an extra $10 to 
get them to give you a static ip and open port 25...or i can save $15/mo 
off my residential account and get inet thats free of port blocks. (i 
was paying $50/mo for 1.5 dsl from bellsouth. now paying 35/mo from 
atnex.) Again, its all up to you, but having my inet free of 
restrictions was enough for me to get away from bellsouth.
