Yes I am saying that.  At the time the mail they provided you was in a
web interface, and you had to use that to send or receive.  After I left
it was about 3 months and they changed that policy.  And I want mail
going through my server because I have my own domain.

The warning I disable the port.  After the timeframe I disable access.
Quick way to let them know this is serious.

No I'm not saying that, I'm saying as a default I don't filter things so
that the customer who does want everything coming in can have it.  There
aren't many horribly unprotected machines on my network.  The ones that
are catch something, and it jumps up to the "get anti-virus clean your
pc don't do it again" action.
