Sympatico smtp

[Teddy Mills]

I was told by Sympatico that the email servers were bogged down by rampant
email viruses, causing,
essentially an indirect  DOS attack.

This in addition to their port 25 filtering, is one reason I try and stay
away from Sympatico, it at all posssible.

Sending email is the problem.
But there are other Silly Sympatico Systemic SMTP Symptoms.


telnet smtp1.sympatico.ca 25
Trying 209.226.175.80...
Connected to smtp1.sympatico.ca.
Escape character is '^]'.
220 tomts33-srv.bellnexxia.net ESMTP server (InterMail vM.5.01.06.05

Who the heck makes InterMail? Is that the email server?

As you can see, if you ping smtp1.sympatico.ca repeatly, you get different
ips, 80/81/82...
