[Lilux-info] AOL blocking port 25

Hello, There is a Heise article about AOL blocking port 25: http://www.heise.de/newsticker/meldung/56418 However AOL does some things differently than Coditel. They are actually not blocking the port 25 but redirecting all accesses to this port via destination NAT to their own mail relay which scans all outgoing mails for spam and worms. This should be transparent for most users. But there are some issues with GMX, which recommends using the alternative port 587, which I also did in my case when Coditel blocked port 25. The article also says that AOL did prevent most major mail providers about the introduction of their mail proxy. The article says nothing whether AOL customers have been informed or not.
