I just tried it and the Telnet session to smtp.mail.yahoo.com 25 just hung there with no reply for a few minutes, and then timed out. It said "Could not create connection to smtp.mail.yahoo.com". So something is blocking the SMTP port, either something in the OS, or the Dial-up ISP itself? *[link\|http://games.speakeasy.net/data/files/khan.jpg\|"Khan!!!" -Kirk]*
Post #50,105 by boxley 8/21/02 10:02:24 PM Reply	yup either the ISP is blocking redirection or the routing im the network is fscked up. Try a traceroute to the resolved address and if you can get there assume that local ISP is not relaying SNMP traffic. thanx, bill will work for cash and other incentives [link\|http://home.tampabay.rr.com/boxley/Resume.html\|skill set]
Post #50,248 by orion 8/23/02 12:06:07 AM Reply	The trace was complete I can also ping that smtp.mail.yahoo.com address. Yet, I cannot send mail to it or log into the port 25 at that address. *[link\|http://games.speakeasy.net/data/files/khan.jpg\|"Khan!!!" -Kirk]*

Post #50,331 by orion 8/23/02 6:44:21 PM Reply	This appears to be true I just got back home, and booted up the Laptop with the Ethernet card to my DSL/LAN, and I was able to send the mail, no mods needed. The [link\|http://www.address.com\|Address.com] ISP that my father uses, apparently blocks the SMTP port, or at least the network they use in Branson, MO (UU.NET?) does. But for $9.95 a month, with POP3/SMTP access being an extra, what do you expect? My father only uses the web mail part, doesn't need POP3/SMTP access. I expect that they block port 25 because of spammers using their network? Maybe they unblock it if POP3/SMTP access is bought? I can still; however, read my POP3 accounts from telocity.com and yahoo.com on the ISP, I just can't send using them! *[link\|http://games.speakeasy.net/data/files/khan.jpg\|"Khan!!!" -Kirk]*
