switch to 587 which is SMTP submit. Now commonly used in the net and standardised.

25 is now left mostly for relay between servers so will most likely be blocked last mile.

Change the port the port that you are using for smtp

 

Firewalls have rules that block that port because of spam

Confirmed with another user in a different location in Nairobi. Same thing external access blocked. No one here experiencing the same?

Hi,

Anyone here who has forwarded ports to an internal server on Safaricom home fibre noticed ports seem to be blocked now? It has been fine for ages, suddenly stopped around 25th November.

 

Wondering if it's just an isolated incident or is happening to other users.
