My ISP won't let me connect to port 25 anywhere on the Internet. From my home, I cannot use plain old SMTP to send email. (obviously, they are trying to kill off zombie's that want to send spam via mail relays)
Now that said, what is the likelihood that a local MTA can deliver email? Won't it also have to use port 25? Well... not really. I've just been messing with msmtp lately, and it can connect to Gmail for delivery (with appropriate credentials). So with msmtp, I *can* actually get mail out for dev/test/production purposes, via the cmdline usage.
