can I create a email server when my isp blocks port 25


So I have a little Server here running FC5, and I would like to run a email server on. My problem is that my ISP blocks the smtp port 25. So I need to use their smtp server, which is fine with me. I just want my server to have IMAP capabilities, and webmail. Is this possible with port 25 blocked? Thanks!

Your smtp server would have to route all out going mail to the ISPs smtp server which is fine.
then your POP3/IMAP server would have to get the mail (periodically) from the ISPs pop3 server.

well my isp doesn't block any pop3 access, it only blocks smtp access, and only smtp access for port 25. Would I be able to at least run the pop3/IMAP portion from my server seperate from my ISP?

you can do this very easily. run alternate port smtp with a service from no-ip.com or dyndns.com and then use your isp's mail server as the smart host.
