Now those motherfuckers are Comcast are blocking outgoing
calls to port 110. I get my Email through a service a 1 and 1
services in Germany, and find I cannot get through unless I
sign on to my subscription anonymity service. Why in the HELL
would they want to block outside mail services on port 110.


As I already said, if they want to block it, I will forced
to use a subcription anonymity service to get around it.

IIRC 1&1 (unlike Web.de, their sister company) don't allow POP3-SSL on
port 995. Is using IMAP an option for you?

I had that same problem with Earthlink (I use 1and1 also). I called them
(Earthlink) and got them to unblock it for me.
Squeaky wheel and all that.

Any clue why they would block 110?

Maybe it's a means to force people to use the El servers and to keep
people from pulling infected email from other servers?

Maybe the were trying to block external access to their POP servers and
screwed up and blocked in/out access at the same time?
