Read again what I wrote. Incoming connections to port 25. This would protect
the user from his own mistakes. It wouldn't prohibit him from connecting to
outside smtp servers. If you want to deliver mail to this customer, and he is
running smtp server on his dialup line, you can allow your smtp servers to
connect to port 25 on the dialup line. But as Cor suggested, this might not be
feasible.
We have a common goal. Methods might be a bit different. If ORBS has turned
sour I'm very disappointed.
