Dawg605 Posted June 21, 2006 Report Share Posted June 21, 2006 When you say it is on, do you mean that they cannot be connected to by default?And what are these ports anyways? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DreadWingKnight Posted June 21, 2006 Report Share Posted June 21, 2006 25 and 110 are e-mail ports.E-mail scanners and firewalls thow shitfits stupidly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted June 21, 2006 Report Share Posted June 21, 2006 @Dawg605: I mean the option to disable connecting is enabled by default. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inf Posted June 21, 2006 Report Share Posted June 21, 2006 The fact this option is enabled by default sounds kinda stupid to me. There is nothing really special about those ports, the fact that some stupid antiviruses/firewalls think ut is sending an email when it tries to connect there is the antivirus/firewall problem, not ut. One should enable this if he dont have a choice, certainly not by default. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted June 21, 2006 Report Share Posted June 21, 2006 I don't like it being on by default either. Hence, the next build won't have it on by default. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FORCE Posted June 22, 2006 Report Share Posted June 22, 2006 Good that there is option because near city there is isp who have only open ports 113 and 110, lots of who use uTorrent will use port 110 or 113. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurahashi Posted June 22, 2006 Report Share Posted June 22, 2006 Uhh... what?? You mean: administrators allow users to provide only pop3 and auth services and all the others are blocked? That would be most ridiculous port blocking policy I've heard ever. I strongly suspect that force wasn't with you when you write that post Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I strongly suspect that force wasn't with you when you write that post Yes it is stupid but i dont own that isp, i own isp who have all ports open (quite expensive dsl 2 with iptv). Cheaper adsl on my isp has port 113 only open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klaus_1250 Posted June 22, 2006 Report Share Posted June 22, 2006 I doubt that any user who chooses such an ISP will have port 113 open :-)As for the new option. Shouldn't it be named something other than just "services"? It is kind of vague and implies many other ports besides 25 and 110. Also, any specific reason why ports 143 and 587 aren't blocked? ( I can imagine that the crappy software that complains about usuage of these ports doesn't even know about them ). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted June 22, 2006 Report Share Posted June 22, 2006 e-mail alerts are really the only thing crappy AVs do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klaus_1250 Posted June 23, 2006 Report Share Posted June 23, 2006 I know (don't use crappy AV's luckily), but port 143 and 587 are email too. 143 is IMAP and 587 is SMTP (usefull if port 25 is blocked) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted June 24, 2006 Report Share Posted June 24, 2006 They generally only bother with 25 and 110. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
