Many ISP's don't allow mail servers to run on their clients and block
port 25. It cures a number of trojan/virus issues and keeps the ISP
from getting blacklisted as a spam network.

many services, such as Hotmail, refuse connetions from dynamic IP
addresses since they are often used for sending spam.

Get your ISP to give you a static IP address and allow you to use a
mail server. If you don't, your chances of being blocked by mail
servers are getting higher every day.
