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

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