There is a firewall rull that needs to be reversed. Incoming SMTP is
not the problem, it is all of the outgoing SMTP traffic from viruses,
spam-zombies, etc.

Which is something I've noticed that AOL do (well in the UK certainly),
transparently proxy all outbound SMTP connections through one of their own
servers. Which I suppose could be a minor pain if you're trying to send via
an authenticated SMTP server of your own unless you run it on a non standard
port
