Sorry to be harsh, but that's just not the "right way to do things" these days. At the very least, you can run stunnel to allow incoming mail submission on port 465 (SMTP + SSL).
So, for us, having ISPs block port 25 is a problem.

Not harsh at all. It's reality. We do have the option for SMTP/SSL/TLS over port 25. It is only required for an authenticated session. I agree, it's not the "right way to do things". Running a mail server used to be much easier. Volunteers to help set things up "the right way" are always welcome. :-) Otherwise, it will happen "eventually". :-( Tim Winders | Associate Dean of Information Technology | South Plains College
