The main question for me is about the AV softwares. We know that ISPs (often broadband ISPs) are indeed blocking port 25 access. What we want to know (we want to have some kind of internal KB about it) how to disable the blocking is some of the more popular (business wise even) AV-softwre and/or (personal) firewall products.

Port 25 filtering is becoming a default these days. AT&T filters port 25 traffic over DSL to all except their outbound mail server. Unless you can convince them you need to access the mail server at work and get white listed. Anyone got a shortcut to getting through AT$T phone support, I look forward to doing it next week :) I have found use of a non-standard port works if you have access to a server that supports an alternate smtp port number. The addition of a port number field to the ... alerts->[Primary Alternate]-> Advanced so we can uses something other than port 25 in these cases would help. Jusrt my 2 cents worth ...
