[SGVLUG] dslextreme server email port 25

[matti]

Hi!

PLEASE LET US know what your experience
is w/dslextreme's allowing you to
run your own mail server.

btw - DSLextreme - sometimes is not reliable...

largely due to the way their billing system
is setup .. IF there's an error on your
bill - EVEN if it is for a small amount
(say a few $ .. ) and the system believes
this amount is over due - your connection
gets auto-magikally shutdown....
(I've experienced this in one installation
of a couple .. really frustrating to solve
as they repeated it a couple of times before
it got cleared.. crossing my fingers.. )

it is a serious problem, that combined with
loss of sync issues - I'm guesing their
network is .. perhaps a 90-94% uptime ...

granted you maybe lucky and never see these issues.
(please.. bring me fiber to my door!... please.. )

best
matti
