Concerning setup of your own SMTP server with sendmail, that issue is really bugging me though...
what if your ISP blocks port 25?
So, you couldn't send any outgoing mails neither any others smtp servers couldn't connect to your smtp server.

What would be the best way to deal with it?
Get somewhere an outside box with account that allows smtp port then this box will forward all your e-mails through your own mail server??
