25/tcp filtered what is blocking my access to sendmail

Guys,
This is really getting crazy: I've got sendmail 8.13.8 running on FC 6,
starttls configured. I can use whatever SMTP clients from inside LAN,
but no access from outside is getting through to port 25. I can't
telnet serverhost port 25. I did an NMAP scan from outside with my
firewall down I got the following:

Starting Nmap 4.11 ( http://www.insecure.org/nmap ) at 2007-01-20 17:52
E. Europe Standard Time
Interesting ports on XXXXXXXXXXX
Not shown: 1671 closed ports
PORT STATE SERVICE
25/tcp filtered smtp
111/tcp open rpcbind
135/tcp filtered msrpc
136/tcp filtered profile
137/tcp filtered netbios-ns
138/tcp filtered netbios-dgm
139/tcp filtered netbios-ssn
445/tcp filtered microsoft-ds
1720/tcp filtered H.323/Q.931

Question: What is filtering my SMTP port? Could it be my ISP? I have
another email server running at my company and guess what? I can't
access that one either from outside, although emails come and go with
no problems. I've got my PC firewall down at the moment, no antivirus
running, still nothing.

And YES, sednmail is listening on all interfaces:

dnl # address restriction to accept email from the internet or
intranet.
dnl #
DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=smtp,Addr=0.0.0.0, Name=MTA')dnl
dnl #
dnl # The following causes sendmail to additionally listen to port 587
for
dnl # mail from MUAs that authenticate. Roaming users who can't reach
their
dnl # preferred sendmail daemon due to port 25 being blocked or
redirected find
dnl # this useful.
dnl #
dnl DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=submission, Name=MSA, M=Ea')dnl

Your ISP has set filtering on their gateways.
If you are lucky you can get the ISP to remove the filtering for you, but I
doubt you would be that lucky as those who decided to have those filters don't
want to drop them.

Your ISP blocks port 25. If you insist on having your own mailserver
than you might consider a mailhop account from DynDNS. Not too expensive
and works like a charm. Mail is delivered on port 587 if you want ;-)
