One problem you might run into is not port 25 being blocked but the IP addresses assigned to people connecting to say Comcast might be flagged as spammers. I have run into this at home where I have a small personal web page and it will bounce emails from the page off my own mail server out to me. It works find if I send the emails to my yahoo account but if I send it to any of the email accounts I have via google(be it gmail or one of the domains I use google apps for) the emails never even show up in the spam folder let alone the inbox. The reason they never show up can be seen in my email server logs where it says something to the effect from google that my IP address has been found to send out high amounts of spam so has been blocked. Of course my IP address changes all the time due to DHCP from the cable modem company and what I think google has done is blocked the whole subnet.
If port 25 being blocked was the only worry then most email servers I have used, have the ability to run on a different port.
