I cannot send email and I'm connected to the internet via
iPrimus. Why?
To help prevent spam from the iPrimus network
they made a change to their network which blocks you from sending
mail on port 25. To correct this problem please see their
announcement which we have copied and pasted below...
Primus
Residential Broadband and Dial Up
Customers.
Please be advised that iPrimus has
recently begun blocking access to
outside SMTP mail servers (Port 25)
to try and reduce the amount of Spam
coming from Virus infected, and
compromised Zombie computers. This
will mean you will only be able to
send email using the iPrimus mail
servers.
If you are using
another internet service providers
mail server, or running your own
mail server, please ensure that you
update your settings to send mail
only through
smtp.iprimus.com.au. Guides
to configuring most email clients
can be found on
http://www.support.iprimus.com.au.
We apologise for
any inconvenience caused.

Other isp's such as Telstra also practice this 'blocking'. iinet
and Optus also block port 25 however it can be unblocked by logging
into the isp's toolbox and changing a 'port blocking' setting.
