&gt; 
&gt; Anyhow, I hope all of you on Bellsloth DSL change providers.  Whether or
&gt; not you handle your own mail, the point is that no provider should block
&gt; us from using whatever servers or services we have on the net.
&gt; 
&gt; Have a great day.

&gt; &gt; Thank you for contacting BellSouth?? FastAccess?? Internet Services.
&gt; &gt; We apologize for the technical problems you have experienced.
&gt; &gt; 
&gt; &gt; The trouble you are experiencing is due to port 25 filtering.  
&gt; &gt; Port 25 filtering is an effective means of reducing the amount 
&gt; &gt; of spam that passes through the BellSouth Internet Services 
&gt; &gt; (BIS) e-mail system. The implementation of Port 25 filtering 
&gt; &gt; will restrict customers that connect to the Internet via 
&gt; &gt; BellSouth access services from using mail servers outside of
&gt; &gt; the BellSouth network to relay their mail. This means you are 
&gt; &gt; blocked from executing an SMTP send on another outgoing email 
&gt; &gt; server other than through the BellSouth SMTP server 
&gt; &gt; [ mail.bellsouth.net ]. Bellsouth currently has no plans in 
&gt; &gt; removing port 25 blocking for residential customers.
