    I have sendmail and popa3d up and running. Is there any way a person could
    offer mail service to people on ISPs that block port 25 outbound from their
    networks? I have seen solutions that use different ports, but I'm not sure
    about doing this with what I have setup on FreeBSD. It seems like you would
    just have to monitor port 25 and a predetermined port at the same time, and
    then configure mail clients on the blocked network to send to the
    predetermined port instead of port 25.

    I bet everyone starting to block port 25 outside of their own networks
    really put the hurt on people offering POP3 accounts. I know I can't send
    e-mail from my own mail server or the POP3 accounts that I pay money for,
    from my house because of this. I have to use google's POP3 service because
    it uses different ports for smtp.
