Your ISP doesn't have 3 open resolvers. Your neighbors have.

Your ISP could terminate the contract with those 3 customers, but they won't - they're customers. They could block inbound trafic on port 25 to those 3 customers (if they knew about it), but they have no incentive to. Or they could block all inbound traffic on port 25, which will likely break DNS for a lot of customers.

I don't believe he/she did as for my ISP blocked port 80 and 443 making me resort to port 25 to send emails~


ups. ofcourse.


I meant that they exist within the ISPs ranges, not that the ISP itself owns them.
