This is getting more and more common. AFAIK, msn.com and earthlink.com are
doing it, too.

Perhaps you could find/set up an SMTP server that will just relay for you.
Set it to listen to port 26 (instead of 25). A friend of mine who runs a
small ISP has basically set this up as a permanent solution for his
customers who are being blocked by their local ISP's.
Those who use the SMTP server (e.g. myserver.net) will have to configure
their mail clients to send on port 26. (Usually done like so:
myserver.net:26)
HTH!
