Might be a local thing.  I was able to hit scootz.net, port 25.

I've had problems before with remote hosts not accepting connections from
my machine because I'm in comcast's DHCP pool.  AOL and TWC caused big
problems.  I got around the issue by smarthosting to smtp.comcast.net.
You may want to have your parents try the same thing.
