Re: [bitfolk] does bitfolk block smtp from t-mobile ip addresses?

Which got me thinking that t-mobile must be *monitoring* or even *proxying* the connection and chopping it off once it threatens to become encrypted and unmonitorable. With that in mind a bit of googling led to: http://support.t-mobile.co.uk/help-and-support/index?page=support&cat=M… _BROADBAND_HELP&tab=0&id=FA1256 which I think explains it. _______________________________________________ users mailing list users(a)lists.bitfolk.com https://lists.bitfolk.com/mailman/listinfo/users Hi Dom, That article states " From 1st May 2010, we are blocking unauthenticated SMTP sessions on our network for mobile broadband and handset data users." I am not sure that this will be the cause as its an encrypted session not unauthenticated but yes, they will be proxying the connection (all major carriers in the UK and Europe do) for speed and bandwidth reasons. Generally this works well but it does drive some people a little potty when the images are re-compressed to a lower quality and/or plays about with the HTML as is delivered to the device. This was the reason I originally asked which APN Joseph was using as we could have tested this on a 'bypass' APN that does not proxy the connection and prove that this is the reason. Ta K
