SBC Global did this in the beginning of the year.  I worked for hours trying to 
figure it out.  I dealt with a bunch of non-English speaking customer service 
folks reading from manual who had not idea of what was going on and kept 
wanting me to uninstall and reinstall software.  After several days I was able 
to escalate the issue to someone who finally told me that SBC disabled port 25 
for all of its customers in my area and that they would re-enable it for those 
who needed it.  A few minutes later everything was fine.

Subject: DSL Provider blocking Port 25


 I can't send e-mail, but recieving it is okay.  After a few frantic calls to 
my web host (and not getting anywhere) I called my DSL provider.  I believe 
they are blocking port 25.  Which, in essence puts me out of business until 
this is fixed.

 The problem occurred somewhere between 11:28 and 4:00 yesterday.  They had me 
fill out an "abuse of service" form to get this lifted, but said it would take 
24 hours.  I threw a fuss and they said it would be done ASAP, but I'm not 
keeping my hopes up on that.  I'm going to call back again in an hour.

 I don't usually get all worked up about stuff, but today I'll make an 
exception.
