(...) Blocking outgoing port 25 doesn't do anything for security. At most, it means that infected machines can't be used to send out spam (unless they're using the U's SMTP server). But it won't stop anyone from *getting* infected. That said, it (...) (21 years ago, 26-Feb-04, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

I'm not certain, but I believe the reason this occurs is that when you log in to Sourceforge you tell it to stay in https mode which means some content will be https while other content will be http.
