Alternate outgoing mail port on UUNet lines
Since @home.com is still blocking mail coming from the "star.eskimo.com" alias, and I've verified other filter/block problems with connecting to the usual "mail.eskimo.com" server over MegaPOP lines while using the newer '@usb.com' addition to the dialup usernames, we've added an additional port to "mail.eskimo.com", port 2525. I've seen other servers do this to help folks bypass filters and blocks on outgoing port 25 (SMTP). If you're having problems with @home.com bouncing your mail as unwanted, or have problems connecting to the usual port 25 of mail.eskimo.com from either a dialup or other firewall situation, try it with port 2525. Most mail programs should have a setting for the port on outgoing mail. For instance: Outlook Express hides this under: Tools / Accounts / Mail / Properties / Advanced Eudora keeps the setting in: Tools / Options / Sending Mail ~ Eric
