[Ma-linux] About to get FIOS--Some Questions

[Jay Hart]

My understanding was they were doing port filtering, and port 25 was one they
did do.  I run my own email server was blockingthat port would be an issue
unless I could change to using another port (I think it is possible).

Several years ago I would get weekly calls to sign up for FIOS and on every
call I asked if they did port filtering.  The typical reply was "um, I don't
know anything about that".  I'd respond with "well, when you find out give me
a call back".  I never got a call back...  (I'd get new calls)

>>Thanks in advance for all wisdom on this.
