Until recently, I would have recommended earthlink. Then they decided to
unconditionally block my access to port 25 without any recourse on my
part.

I'll be looking at speakeasy and dslextreme, both of which are currently
less intrusive.

For those of you reading along, try:

telnet -p 25 scoug.com

If you don't get a prompt, your ISP is probably blocking port 25.
