Sympatico probably blocked outgoing port 25 to reduce spam. You can probably 
only connect to their own mailservers now. You can setup postfix to do this 
for you by setting POSTFIX_RELAYHOST in /etc/sysconfig/postfix. Of course, 
they may have blocked incoming port 25 as well so you may not be able to get 
mail.

I'd call and complain, but then again, it's the phone company and they 
probably could care less. I find that the cable companies are a bit more 
clueful here in Canada.
