rogers modem upgrade / port 25

[Scott Ripley]

hi all,

(forgive me if this has already been discussed... :-)

i just "upgraded" (at the request of rogers) my modem from their 
Terayon modem to their Motorola SURFboard modem...

(along with my new IP address), it would appear that port 25 is blocked 
on outgoing SMTP connections, you need to authenticate against their 
SMTP server... of course it's simple enough:
 http://help.yahoo.com/help/us/rogers/mail/pop/pop-28.html

just annoying... (i was authenticating against my own server, etc.)

anyone else run into this as well? any other surprises wrapped up in 
this modem upgrade present?
