It is quite common for "big" as in cable or residential DSL ISPs (AOL
included!), which this way hope to cut down spamming customers, which
are then required to use the in-house mail servers, and as such can be
easier traced.

I remember Earthlink having a policy that you need to be a "good"
customer for a few months before they will unblock port 25 for you.

Cheers,
