You're confusing the sides of the firewall.Ok, I've almost responded at least a couple times, but this is getting ludicrious now. If they're restrictive on their side, then how the hell do you plan on getting out with your traffic???
The restrictive security policies are on the side of the clients I work
for. THEIR firewalls are often quite restrictive.
Besides that, I'd be really surprised if this connection would work at all with the sheer number of different networks you'd be crossing, any number of which are filtering for smb ported traffic. Most consumer grade ISPs filter for all these ports, the one you run your mail server on seems to, or at least your server is filtered. Our firewalls will allow just about anything out, but not smb because it's just wrong. I believe some of these ports talk back to you also, at least 445, so you're probably not going to get back with the corresponding channel, much like non-passive ftp.
The other side of the equation is my box at home, which has no such
policy.
Who is your ISP? I'd love a no-rules account with them.
Do you have nmap? try and portscan your home box and see if you get the ports... it will tell you if you're getting filtered or not. I'm guessing this is the caseI even concocted a zero-install CygWin workalike and
keep it on my keychain USB drive...
