Hi, I don't think this is a good idea to run an SMTP server behind a so restrictive firewall. If you don't have access to the web for a mail server, this generally means you don't have to. Furthermore, if the proxy is well configured it should not let you go out on port 25. However you could google a little bit for an "http tunnel proxy to smtp". I haven't tried http://www.ohardt.com/mailbridge/ but it may help you. and act as a smarthost.
