You are stating the obvious.
I'll try a more technical answer. Remember, you were of the opinion that
using nmap could be a criminal offence in some countries (which you
declined to name).
I will use my preferred email client (telnet) for this test.
brian@desktop:~$ telnet mail.o2.co.uk 25
Trying 82.132.141.69...
Connected to mail.o2.co.uk.
Escape character is '^]'.
220 mail.o2.co.uk ESMTP Service ready
brian@desktop:~$ telnet mail.o2.co.uk 587
Trying 82.132.141.69...
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection timed out
I also used another 40.000 ports.
Happpier with this?
Communication is one of the most basic human needs. Have I transgressed
its boundaries?
