I’ve never seen this message before but I’d assume it’s referring to the protocol iTunes uses to control an AirportExpress.

“This will prevent… AirTunes remote control”? Does anybody know what that means?

I think it means that you cannot control your AirTunes device remotely with iTunes if the port is blocked.
Not an actual remote, but controlling the AirTunes with iTunes.

Spammers suck. I’ve had the same problem many times. What was worse, though, was when a spammer’s typo resulted in the inclusion of one of my domains in his spam: http://kalsey.com/2004/06/spam_fallout/

Adam S. and Jip –

I hear you on the AirTunes thing. It could very well be that it’s simply talking about communicating with an AirPort Express. But don’t you think “AirTunes remote control” would be a strange way to express that?

Maybe somebody with an Airport Express could verify this – if you block port 3869, can you still stream music to the AirPort Express? If you can, this message is talking about something else.

Adam K. –

Yeah, that is worse. That must have been so frustrating!

The good news in this case is that my stream of bouncebacks seems to be tapering off – I’ve only had 20 or so today. But I know it’s probably just a matter of time before it happens again.

I’m looking forward to seeing SPF, or something, catch on…
