As many of Streamyx users know that Tmnet has blocked SMTP Port 25 back in November 2007. Then for some reason (maybe due to public pressure), they re-open back the port. Today I have receive another email from Tmnet saying that they will officially block port 25 again effective from 15, January 2008 and have enable 2 options for the customers on either to use their proxy or Port 587. This port is supported by almost all mail server. In fact, according to the relevant standard, port 587 is the preferred port for mail submission.

This is the email that I have received.

About 1 month ago, I was trying out Google Map Routing (Malaysia) by right-clicking a street and select “Direction From here” and another road by selecting “Direction To Here” and voila, it worked by showing a transparent line to show direction. But 2 weeks ago until now, it no longer works. Whenever I pick a road and select direction “from here” & “to here”, it only show those numbers without the street name and an error message appears on the left side “We could not calculate driving directions between 3.154571, 101.651688 and 3.164341,101.687565″. No matter which street name I select, the same error happens. For Singapore, Thailand, etc, it works great.

Well, not sure. Maybe Google disable this function for Malaysia Map. It was working great previously except the street / address search function but now everything is not working. Only the map is viewable but better than nothing.

Anyone from Malaysia having the same issue? Anyone know why? Maybe Google staff can comment here
