In many cases, it's best just to switch to an ISP that provides full,
uncensored Internet access. Blocking access to port 25 is OK, if the ISP
can override it for people who have a valid need. But if they can't
override it, it's time to find another provider.
The two main problems are if you provide any support regarding E-mail (if
you can't connect to port 25, you can't diagnose problems from home or on
the road), or for travelling businesspeople who have a laptop that they use
at work and elsewhere (when they get back to the office, MSN won't let them
use the MSN mailservers).
