Mindspring apparently doesn't think it'll hurt their business. I can
personally think of 10-20 individuals off the top of my head that
this will hurt. I use them as a dialup from home and have been very
happy with the service, but they seem ok to have me go
elsewhere... oh well.
Below is a snippet of an email dialog I had with them, it is the last
message I received from them on the topic.

5829842)
Unfortunately we will never open port 25, the reason deals with
spam and abuse. As far as another provider, I'm not sure which
ones do not block port 25. I would suggest you give them a call
and find the one the correctly suits your needs.
