well, u can use ur Dialup ISP's SMTP server (that mean the currunt ISP your using at the time) as your outgoing mail server, you really dont need to use your server, you can change the SMTP server when your using defarant ISP's

Come out here... we get maybe 3 rainy days per year.

I figured it out... Comcast recently blocked all incoming connections to port 25 that aren't coming from their network... IE if you are on AOL, Earthlink, Netzero whatever, you can't connect to smtp.comcast.net to send your email, but you can receive it still.
Seems strange to me
Now, does anyone have a cure for rain? 3 "sunny" days of the past 36 days... oy

Most do reject any access to port 25 coming from another ISP.

Are you trying to run a mail server on your own box at home?

This is something I would like to do, but my ISP blocks ports 80 and 25. I have a friend who paid for a port redirect service. Basicaly, you direct your MX records to a 3rd party's IP, who then redirects your mail traffic to your IP on a port of your choosing. Something I don't really feel I should need to pay for. I just want my ISP to stop blocking my ports.
