Other than port forwarding on smtps

I have my own Exim server which I usually send
my mails to when I'm offline. When I'm online
it automaticaly send my mails and also fetches
my mails from my pop servers. It also has
clamd and spamassassin.
Everything went fine, until for some reason
unknown to me, my dial-up ISP has blocked all
packets going through port 25.

Now, I can't send any of my emails while offline
other than mail accounts on webmails.

I tried to call them and asked If at least they
could provide a ssh server that I could port
forward my mails thru, other than port 25.
They told me they don't know any of those, since
they're using some 'secure Windows thing'..
Hearing those words from their sysad, I know
my request was useless.. Can't argue with those
kind of people.

They're the only internet provider in town, so
I have to live with it (webmails), or deal with it.
It is just so inefficient to use webmails specialy
when youre on mailing lists.

I would like to ask, if there are any other way
that I could send my mails through port 25 other
than port forwarding through other servers ?
And do you know any good sshell providers that
accepts port forwarding ?


Thank You.

Doesn't your ISP have an MSA you could send your mail through?

They dont have one. Just a telnet and and a webserver.
Is there any other way I can get around this ?

Ok, they must be a crap ISP if they don't know how to do this.

You can use another ISP for this service, but it means that you will be paying
both ISPs. The second ISP should be relatively cheap though, since you are only
using mail traffic and they are not providing any connection or dial up
service.

You can ask the second ISP to forward your mail through a different port.

You will need to provide authentication, since you are connecting through an
ISP that is different from the one providing your mail traffic.

If memory serves, dyndns offers mailrelaying for $25 per year. You can
have your server send mail through an alternative port to the dyndns
one which then send's mail out for you.
