Are you talking about inbound or outbound port 25?  I'm talking about
outbound.

I've done a little searching, and the only reference I can find ATM is
at <http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=01/08/09/0323208>: "Verizon is
apparently...  blocking outgoing port 25 and requiring use of Verizon's
SMTP servers to send email."  And then the Verizon SMTP servers reject
mail without a From: line with an @verizon.net or @bellatlantic.net.  I
know that this is the case because a former co-worker had Verizon DSL
(with Verizon as both line provider and ISP) and he confirmed this.
