Yes as far as I know, the ISP blocking port 25 thing is for sending mail out, in which case you can use your mta to send through a smarthost. Receiving I set up DNS to forward mail to my IP, and port forwarding on my router at home to the machine that has an smtp daemon listening on port 25 or as Patrick said, listening on a different port like the submission port for example.
