Mitigating Spam in Telekom Malaysia Broadband Service
Posted on Dec 05, 2007 under General, Streamyx, Webserver |
Since a lot of Telekom Malaysia’s broadband service called streamyx ip addresses have been banned by anti-spam organizations such as http://www.spamhaus.org whereby since most of corporations sync their database of spammers with these anti-spam organization drastically effects the outgoing mails to these recipients.
Therefore, TM is taking immediate action to address this issue. Effective 3 December 2007, TM will block OUTBOUND Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) traffic or port 25 for all out going e-mails from dynamic IP addresses. Only Outbound SMTP traffic from smtp.streamyx.com and smtp.tm.net.mywill be allowed.
Which means, relatively we can’t send mail in this network using our own email servers. But unless if you change the smtp port in your email server to anything than 25, then it should work fine. Another option is using their smtp-proxy.tm.net.my as your outgoing configuration.
