[olug] Cox and port 25

[Trent Melcher]

I also support a small business here in Omaha that has a Business account
with Cox.  THey havent had a problem yet with their mailserver, however it
is inside of the Cox network, so it may not be affected the same way.  I
called them and talked to them about the issue and they said Business
accounts should not be affected by the change as long as the mailserver has
an IP address that was assigned to them from Cox.

Residential is different because the are Dynamics Ips and not Static like
Business accounts.

How in the H3&&  would I know what are the correct IPs?  Where does cox
specify this block is for res and this block is for biz?  If I don't have
that there isn't any way to tell.

Nope, Best bet is not to talk to Cox.  They usually walk away from the
phone convo and do something unwanted.  I tend to just work-around them
whenever possible.  In this case, I could change configuration instead of
waking the beast.

p.s. Bob, do you work or are you affiliated with Cox?
