That just reminded me-

Many DSL/Cable providers block all traffic on port 25, unless it's  
being routed to their SMTP servers .
They tend to consider any machine sending mail on port25 to be  
compromised and sending virus/spam , as they far more often than not  
are.

I'd check to make sure they have port 25 open.
