MITIGATING SPAM IN TM NETWORK
Telekom Malaysia Berhad (TM) is taking immediate
action to address this issue where effective 18 March 2008,
TM will continue to block OUTBOUND Simple Mail Transfer Protocol
(SMTP) traffic or port 25 for all outgoing e-mails from dynamic IP
addresses. Only Outbound SMTP traffic from smtp.streamyx.com and
smtp.tm.net.my will be permitted. This second phase exercise will
be done at another Klang Valley area before being implemented
nationwide.
With this exercise, Streamyx customers with dynamic IP
addresses, who have their own mail server, will not be able to
send out-going e-mails. As an alternative, TM will be
providing customers with two options Customers may choose to relay
their server to our SMTP or use port 587 for any outgoing e-mails.
Kindly refer to the following links for configuration details:

How to configure port 26 for client
Please be informed that affective 18
March 2008, Telekom Malaysia Berhad had blocked OUTBOUND Simple
Mail Transfer Protocol
(SMTP traffic or port 25 for all out going
e-mails from dynamic IP addresses. Only Outbound SMTP traffic
from smtp.streamyx.com and smtp.tm.net.my will be allowed.
With this implementation, Streamyx customers who have their own
mail server (Example: mail.YourDomain.com) will not be able to
send out e-mails using email program.
To overcome the email sending out problem as mentioned
above, Media Century had created a new port for SMTP server,
email users who were affected, may change the SMTP Server from
Port 25 to Port 26.
Note: Clients who are using Webmail, using Fixed
IP or using other Internet Service Provider (like jaring, maxis
network...) will not be affected.
