Is TOT using evaluation copy of software for it’s SMTP server?

March 29th, 2008 No comments

Today computers in our office, an a few customers of ours, while trying to send email via smtp.totisp.net (or smtp-adsl.totonline.net) received the following message from a server:

“The evaluation license has expired”. For example, my Mozilla Thunderbird shows it like this:

TOT Evaluation licanse expired

I decided to check the server directly:

telnet smtp.totisp.net 25
Trying 118.175.8.10…
Connected to ruhk-010.totisp.net.
Escape character is ‘^]’.
421 The evaluation license has expired.
Connection closed by foreign host

Looks like TOT did not pay for a software it is using! Remember what TOT is also blocking outgoing port 25, and people cannot use other SMTP servers (unless they use alternate port number)?

TOT SMTP filtering

February 15th, 2008 No comments

There is one upside to the mindless TOT SMTP filtering: people will start switching to the secure SMTPS protocol if their hosting providers support it, which is a good thing – private information, like e-mail, should be encrypted in transmission by default. Details of the switching to alternative SMTP (or SMTPS) port can be found on our ADSL information page.
