Correct me if i'm wrong, but if your isp blocks port 25 then it wont work, because all external mail servers will only use the standard port, and will never be able to deliver mail to your server. Your best bet is to get a cheap domain with pop3 mail and set up fetchmail to pull your mail in from it. Again with sending email, set james up to use your isp's relay as a gateway.
