Most ISP’s block port 25 for non-businesses. You have to contact your provider, and request the port be opened.

If they all would

I wish all the ISP’s would block port 25. This would eliminate half my spam and almost all the viruses coming into my server.

There is a service that uses another port(558 I guess, not sure). This is not widely available though 🙁 Some smtp servers might support this so check your documentation and of course, your ISP if they allow that, hihihi(they could also block that)…
