I've heard about some Port 135 problem and connecting to MS Exchange server over the Internet. Is it a problem if my ISP blocks Port 135?

Most home ISPs now block Port 135 as a result of the MS Blast Worm in August, 2003. In Our Hosted Exchange Service, we provide “Outlook Anywhere” feature for connecting to the Exchange Server, which is not affected by this issue. You can use this feature if your computer is running Windows XP SP2 or above.

We also provide VPN access to get around this issue seamlessly if you are using Windows 2000 or below.
