Thank BellSouth for blocking all 25/tcp and 25/udp access unless its to their very own SMTP server. They claim it is to help prevent relaying; they don't seem to believe there are other solutions. At that, they're better than the Charter setup that's my only alternative.
Blocking access to port 25 isn't such a bad plan in the grand scheme of things. What's the actual problem -- just that their servers are very slow to pass mail through? You could use an external mail server listening on a port other than 25, surely?
