Comcast cuts spam 35% by whacking port 25

CNet covers Comcasts big discovery.

Once again, a CNet writer show how clueless they are about the ACTUAL technology. First, blocking port 25 is not "closing a loophole". It's not a mistake. I also love

Called "port 25," the gateway lets PCs send and receive e-mail based on SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol), the most common technology for exchanging messages.

Like "port 25" is some street lingo. Like "I was all candy trippin and I hit the port 25 and went 5000, yo."
