Couldn't they use the web mail?
The only other thing I can think of (off hand), is to change the port
number... which I assume you do not want to do.

Subject: [IMail Forum] Port 25 blocking
I have set up our server running the SMTP service on port 25 behind our
firewall. We have two domains running on two published IP's mapped by our
firewall to the two internal IP's on the server. Everything works great
except that several of our users are using Mindsping as their ISP when
traveling. Minspring has recently implemented port 25 blocking. They will
not let any port 25 traffic off of their network (nor will they allow any
onto their network from outside, so our users can't send mail from our field
location networks on their Mindspring accounts...)
The result has been that our users cannot send mail through our server. I
have tried mapping a different port to the port 25 internally, but the
problem is that our firewall can only map one port from the external to the
internal port 25, resulting in our users able to send mail, but we no longer
receive any mail from external servers.
Any suggestions to my dilemma would be greatly appreciated.
As an aside, my original posting to this list was rejected because I
couldn't send it through the subscribing email server @ SRMSERVICES.COM
Please help, since my customers do understand why they have to deal with
this BS from Mindspring
