It sounds like you would be violating your TOS with your provider so be
careful.  They could cut you off if you go around that.

That being said I have a work around but for the oppisite reason.  I use
portfwd to help clients whose ISP blocks port 25.  It is in the archive
here (
http://list.cobalt.com/pipermail/cobalt-users/2000-December/029339.html
).

Keep in mind that it's an old post and there are newer versions of
Portfwd available.  I run it on my Raq4 with SMTP redirected from port
25250 and it works great.

All outgoing ports up to 1024 are blocked.

They say that they are doing that because they don't want that we run a
server on our PC.

----

NONE of our customers ( on the raqs) are using the smtp-server. I
explained
to them that they have to put the smtp-server of there ISP in there
email
program.
Some customers are using WEBMAIL and some PHP-customers are using
sendmail
for sending passwords to the visitors of there site.

Relay off your ISP, or see if they'll open port 25 for you.  Is
inbound or outbound blocked?  Both?

Port perversion rarely is the best answer.  If you can clarify
just what is blocked, I'll respond accordingly in greater detail.

These last few lines are a trap for address-harvesting spambots.
Do NOT send mail to <blacklist@xxxxxxxxx>, or you are likely to
