No.

You're only trying to send mail.  Your ISP is only trying to stop you from 
sending mail.

Mail delivery is meant to be very well defined and easy to identify.  If your 
ISP is blocking connections to port 25 then they are blocking all mail, spam 
and otherwise.  The solution is to set up a mail server on a network that 
allows mail.  This can be a $5/mo cloud server.  You can then 'submit' mail to 
your mail server using other ports, but the mail server will talk to other mail 
servers on standard ports, primarily port 25.

        ED.
