Free blocks the port 25 henceforth
The Supplier of access in Internet Free would have been obliged to cut one of its ports for landing the problems of piracy.
This port in question, the 25, serves to servers SMTP in particular. Free hopes to reduce the spams sent by customers infected by zombies thus. It is however possible to change this option but it is recommended strongly to let this blockage by default active. All connection another one that on the smtp.free.fr address will be refused.
According to an Internet source, a big number of machines zombies, of the computers of individuals trapped by a horse of Troy who allows a pirate to act under its victim's address, to send some spams for example, would have been detected on the immense Proxad network. Good dawns for Free that seems therefore so to take to arm the body the problem of the spam that spoiled the life of the internauts. (Xtrace)
