Tim,

   Welcome to Toronto.  

   Echo Online did not use to block port 25, and I was able to use a local mail server to transmit email.  Unfortunately, people I sending email to are on mail servers that block phone-in IP addresses.  I switched back to using EOL's mail server.  

   Wouldn't it be fun to have some spammers tied up down in your basement and covered with peanut butter or something?
