There is, redirecting port 25 traffic. I discovered an ISP was doing this |
| 9 |
by accident, when I switched to my backup ISP and forgot to change my |
| 10 |
mail settings. It was only later that I realised mail was still going |
| 11 |
out, despite my software being set to use a different ISP's server. So I |
| 12 |
sent myself a mail and checked the headers, they were redirecting all |
| 13 |
outgoing port 25 traffic to their own server. |
