I'm also have sympatico and run a mail server. What they have done as far as I know is blocked all outgoing smtp unless it's going through their servers. What you can do to cope with this is to set your mail server to relay through the smtp server they assigned you, smtp1.sympatico.ca for me. In qmail you just add the smtp1.sympatico.ca to the /var/qmail/control/smtproutes file and it'll work like it should. Me and my friends do this and it works fine. Hope this helps.
