it's possible that a receiving email server could be setup to not accept email coming from a non standard port. This seems highly unlikely, but possible.
Hadn't really considered that. Our 2 choices were 2525 or 587, and since we were scrambling, the idea of the nonstandard port getting booted at the other end slipped our minds. I'll keep an eye out, but I'm fairly sure it won't be an issue since we route through a smart host.
aww.. well, then as long as your smart host is working, you should be fine.
Though I have to ask - you have a business class connection that blocks your ability to use a port? WTF? And you're not freaking out on them?
Is it in their contract that you'll send all outgoing email through their servers? Talk about your Man-in-the-Middle!

Making plans to attend calling hours for a friend this week. He died Saturday. He was possibly as young as 25, but was probably 26. He had a heart attack and died. My girl and I both knew him pretty well and were both friends with him but for totally independent reasons...it's been a rough weekend...

I couldn't agree more, but those decisions are out of my hands. And I would guess that they are using security / spam blockage as a reason to kill port 25. Our smart hosts are through a different (new) company (I think).

We just had an awesome side by side posting between two communities. Those are exciting to see because they really put the community to the test in a way that normal posting does not. It's the best test that I know of both activity and technical expertise. And the result... eighteen posts on ML to zero there. And the answer was determined here before any posts happened there. Not a big thing, but it's very encouraging that the activity and quality level here are staying high and keeping pace like they should.

Waiting for dinner to arrive. (FreshDirect.)

Wishing someone would make me dinner....
Working still and yawning lots of yawning.

That's true I think FreshDirect delivers from NYC. But I am like 90 minutes from there and they come here.

I live about 6 hours from there

Having a look at Ubiquiti Edgerouter X prices
Looks like the stock power adapter isn't compatible with Australia...Well, that's going to bump the cost up a smidge.
I'd also need a modem, so this will require more research -
HA! Have a look at what just landed on my desk by way of "Do we want to keep it?"
The Dell has a license for Windows 2000 Pro, is a Pentium III AND the Service tag is still recognised by Dell!!! However it has not been tested for Windows 10 upgrade, I'm not sure how I feel about this
- Specs: http://www.cnet.com/products/dell-latitude-c610-14-1-piii-m-128-mb-ram-10-gb-hdd/specs/
- It should be noted that this is the classy version with a DVD drive
The Toshiba has a license for Windows 98 Second Edition... and an AMD 475 MHz Processor!

I found a much older Toshiba T4700CT/200 when doing a job a few months ago. That takes the cake for the oldest relic that I've come across in recent times. Specs: http://www.toshiba-europe.com/computers/products/notebooks/t4700ct/product.shtm
Which according to PC Mag 28 Jun 1994 (Google Book here) was $4,475 back in 1994! Wowzers!
EDIT: According to http://www.usinflationcalculator.com/ that's worth $7,266.50 today!
