If Rogers blocking port 25 is a problem for you, then your choices 
should be limited to those ISPs that will provide you with a static 
IP address that is not on a RBL and quite likely one that will 
provide a reverse DNS that will resolve to the domain name you want 
to use. Even with Rogers Business High Speed, where port 25 was not 
blocked last time I checked, using a local SMTP server would result 
in messages being bounced or blocked by the anti spam measures of the 
ISPs of some of the recipients. The problem is that some RBLs 
classify the Rogers IP addresses as being on IP blocks assigned to 
dial up users.
