Now I'm not saying that I run a mail server on my Sprint Broadband
connection and I'm not saying that there is a forward dns pointing to my
ip address which has never changed on Sprint Broadband but I know for
certain that they don't block port 25/80/ICMP or anything of that
nature.
Caching DNS server has worked for me...
