99,99% of all ISP's don't block port 25 for any moral reasons, whatsoever. It's purely a buisness reason. It's to be able to charge "extra" from anyone who wants or needs extensive mail services.
My ISP blocks port 25 and doesn't even offer to unblock it for some extra money. I still run my own mail server, but have to use no-ip.com mail reflector service, so the extra money is for them, not my ISP.
In fact, I'm more likely to get "blocked" by using my ISP, than I am using my own ... since when I do use my ISP, I'm in a pool with thousands of users, of whome there may be hundreds of spammers. Our common denominator (My ISP) is what is going to put us all, including (innocent ;-) me, into the same basket.
Anyway, if your ISP's net blocks get blacklisted, you're out of luck even if you run your own server. Your dynamicallly assigned IP comes out of your ISP's IP address pool, doesn't it? Regards, -- Andreas Philipp Noema Ltda. Bogotá, D.C. - Colombia http://www.noemasol.com
