Few weeks ago I was in Vancouver for a few meetings, while in this company that produces routers, they told me that they also offer a mail service that can come within the router, making absolute non-sense for me, I asked:

Q: “why?”

A: “Most ISPs in Canada blocks port 25″

*sigh*

Q: “Why?”

A: “They think this way they will block spam”

*sigh*

It’s incredible how from time to time you can hear incredible ideas like this, how come no one ever realized that blocking port 25 would reduce spam, uh? Because of this fantastic solution this company has to provide an alternative way for their clients email to be delivered successfully, then I ask you:

How complicated is for a spammer to do the same?
