Comment Not without port 25 open... (Score 1) 281
Umm, no...
Last time I checked, your ISP has to allow port 25 outbound to arbitrary locations (i.e., outside the ISP's network), in order to run an SMTP server (on the Internet at large).
Cox blocks port 25 beyond the ISP's network.
You might be able to set up an SMTP server somewhere else (where port 25 out is allowed), and then send it messages from home (encrypted, most likely) using another port.
Without port 25, though, those messages are going nowhere fast!
