Did they block port 993? Port 443? Port 80?

  Those ports are not important, they are for my client to connect to my server, which happens entirely within my LAN, but how do I go about SENDING mail if outgoing connections on ports 25, 587, and 465 are blocked ? Basically, I want to send a mail to you, your server is listening on those ports because you're a normal person, and didn't rediret port 80 to be your SNMP incoming. So, I try to make a connection to your domain:25, my packets won't even leave my ISP, my outgoing connection is simply dropped. Try it, are you lucky enough that you can ? If you speak a bit of SMTP you can send email from telnet like that.

    You can configure your own SMTP server on the internet to listen on whatever ports you like and configure your client to use that.
