KPN is now blocking SMTP traffic
Posted by tom March 9th, 2007
With a to my opinion unpopular move KPN is now blocking SMTP traffic inbound and outbound. I have my own server on internet, with a colocation hosting provider. Since tonight I can no longer send mails to it, because KPN is blocking that traffic. Time to find myself a different provider! Bye, bye KPN!
Of course, there’s always a way, just setup a tunnel to my own mailserver and done, I can send mails again, but not via KPN-mailservers. Oh yeah and along the way it’s encrypted as well!
Frak! Why doesn't The Netherlands have SciFi?

It really doesn’t seem fair, there’s SciFi in the US, in France, Germany, Spain and for frak sake even in Australia … but understandably not in The Netherlands. We’re probably just too insignificant of a country with too few viewers which makes it an uninteresting audience from a commercial point of view. But wouldn’t it be nice if we could view shows, even if they were only visible on the Internet. Ah well, it’s tough … :D
