I got around the SMTP filtering issue by setting up a small
daemon on my server that accepted connections on port 125 (could be any
port, I just picked 125) and redirects the connection to port 25. It's
multi-threaded and lets people connect directly to your server to send
mail even if their port 25 is blocked by their ISP.

Just want to chimn in and say that MSN also blocks outbound smtp
and
you have to use their mailservers. But on top of that you HAVE to
use
SPA smtp authentication which is something evil that microsoft have
come up with. I use a mail client called The Bat! and it would NOT
function with MSNs mailservers. Only app I managed to find that
worked
was Outlook Outlook Express. Now talk about cornering your
clients...
