Re: Thanks Idiots!

Indeed. For access to business servers or other SMTP servers that your ISP blocks, a simple ipfw rule on the server machine (or the router the server is behind) will fix this:

sudo ipfw add fwd serveraddress,25 tcp from any to me inboundport

Where serveraddress is the address of the server (usually "localhost") and inboundport is the port you want to listen on in addition to 25.

NOTE: I'm not responsible for any damage to your machine running this command may incur. Always modify ipfw rules locally as they may interrupt tcp/ip access. Tested on MacOS 10.3.2.
