Repeating such statements over and over dont make them true.
An MUA has no business on port 25 outside the own network.

submission      587/tcp                         # Submission [RFC2487]

And if you run a MTA on your DSL this also will stop 'lawful
interception' at your DSL-provider:

ssmtp           465/tcp         smtps           # SMTP over SSL

Wether Earthlink blocks both of them, or Pobox does not provide
any of them is not really relevant on this list.
Go bitch them instead.
