[ale] Bellsouth to Speakeasy?

[David Corbin]

They're definately not doing that.  I getting incoming requests to 25 
all the time.  The goal of their filter (real or alledged) would be to 
prevent SPAM coming from their customers.  My experience is that they do 
NOT block port 25, but if many sites reject mail because you're DSL IP 
is on a spam-blocking list (like RBL) of some sort.
