A few things
1) Are you just looking to have your own email proxy to connect to the 
outside world, or do you want to receive mail?
2) Have you considered why optimumonline might be blocking inbound port 
25? (Like, they don't want people running "servers" on the end of 
"residential"/"noncommercial" lines, or they don't want to run spam 
reflectors on the end of their broadband connections?)
(I have optimum online at home and am not aware that they block outbound 
port 25, maybe that's changed recently and I never noticed...)
