Telekom Malaysia blocks outgoing port 25

Telekom Malaysia (TM) is blocking out port 25 on all dynamic IPs(residential IPs) effective from 3rd December 2007.

Well, this means:

  1. TM has issues with spammers. Be it zombie machines with trojans, viruses and spywares.
  2. All the local businesses that run internal E-Mail servers will have to find other ways.

It’s not a big deal actually, but again if you are doing this kind of things that means something out of your control is happening and you have to block it. Otherwise I believe it’s a very widely used port.

The TM’s corporate users, the one who has fixed IPs do not have to worry, since this does not effect them.

For the home/soho users I will be writing a nice how-to on this matter in a few days time.
