Secondly, assuming this is the case, how can I get around this problem without changing my ISP?
You'd have to find a mail services provider that would handle your inbound mail on your behalf, and then use a different method of getting that mail sent to your server. This could be through a POP mailbox download solution (using something like fetchmail), or any number of other solutions.
When setting up a mailing list server, keep in mind that they might forcibly proxy all outbound port 25 connections through their servers, and place limits on you in terms of how many messages you may send per day/hour/minute, etc....
In cases like this, it's usually best to either find another provider, or to get service with a co-location facility to perform all your desired server functions, and use your local provider only for your own personal Internet access.
Or, if your only desire is to have a mailing list service, you might choose a services provider only for that function, as opposed to a general-purpose hosting or co-location provider. In that case, the Mailman FAQ entry at <http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq01.017.htp> may be helpful to you.
