Usen doesn't seem to block 25. I have outbound mail on my home server 
setup to route directly to the destination and, according to my posfix 
log, that's what it's doing. I was also able to do "telnet isris.pair.com 
25" (the server where my public web page is hosted) and it answered and 
ackowledged my HELO. I guess that's enough evidence to know that it's not 
blocked, right?

BTW, my Usen fiber service comes with 5 IPs (a block of 8 but one is used 
for the "gateway" -- not sure why every block of 8 needs its own gateway 
address but that's how they have it set-up). My landlord wouldn't give the 
OK for mansion-type service but they said I could have the glass pulled to 
the apartment through the phone conduits so that's what they did. Cool...
