  Inbound (to you), outbound, or both?

  FWIW, I don't seem to be blocked on TCP/25, in or out, in Dover, NH.

  I suspect that's high enough to get on their radar.

  The surest way to do that is to upgrade to their "business" service.
 ToS allows you to host services.  In particular, TCP/25 blocks will
be removed.  Prices vary with speed, SLA, location, phase of the moon,
etc., but in Amesbury, MA, I think we're paying $64/month for 6 down/2
up (Mbit/sec) with one static address.
