Port 25 (smtp) is blocked by default on all PPOE ATT/SBC DSL lines. This is not the case on static IP address packages.
<p>You can have this lifted online at:
</p><p><a href="http://helpme.att.net/servabuse.php">http://helpme.att.net/servabuse.php</a>
</p><p>Under "Abuse type" select "Opt Out port 25"<br>
Under "Abuse Occurred In" select "email"
</p><p>After 24 hours, power-cycle your modem to activate the change.

<br>To request removal of the filter, use the Abuse of Service form at »<a href="http://help.sbcglobal.net/servabuse.php">help.sbcglobal.net/servabuse.php</a>
to contact our Abuse team and choose the "Opt-Out Port 25" under Abuse
Type. Enter your account Member ID (also called your SBCIS PPPOE Login
ID or User ID) to opt-out. If you have multiple SBCIS accounts you want
to opt-out, please submit a separate form for each Member ID. Do not
enter your email addresses from the other mail hosting provider. You
should expect that it will take SBCIS 12-24 hours to process your
request.<br><br>After receiving a confirmation email, sent to the SBCIS
Member account ID being opted-out, you will need to logoff the SBCIS
network and turn off your DSL router or modem for 1 minute to remove
the filter. You should then turn your modem and system back on and log
in using the normal procedure.<br><br>The SMTP Port 25 filter does not
affect Members using Web mail to any mail provider, VPN connections to
a private company or university mail server, dedicated (e.g. T1/T3 or
Frame-Relay) or "static" IP addresses.<br></blockquote><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Apr 16, 2008 at 2:52 PM, Geoffrey <<a href="mailto:lists@serioustechnology.com">lists@serioustechnology.com</a>> wrote:<br>

</div>They will not unblock it for residential. I tried. They will only<br>
