That is amazing. Most of these hijacked boxes don't get their instructions
via port 25, so it has no effect on the current epidemic of compromised home
systems. Blocking outgoing port 25 connections from their broadband dynamic
IP pool to anywhere but their smarthost, while still allowing outgoing port
587 SMTP-AUTH connections to the internet at large, would solve the problem
without causing any customer inconvenience.
Well, maybe. Some of the newer viruses have logic to figure out where
the smarthost is and use it, I think.
Do you know anyone at Comcast who would listen to reason on this?
Comcast is a cable company. 'Listen' and 'reason' are not in their
vocabulary. Good luck.
