EarthLink implements port 25 blocking for all consumer-grade accounts that requires you to use their smtp server for all outgoing mail. Even if your email address ends in @another_domain_name.com you can still send and receive mail using your EarthLink connection by specifying one of their many smtp servers in the "outgoing mail server" field on your favorite email program.

If your EarthLink address ends in @earthlink.net then use:
smtp.earthlink.net
for all your outgoing mail needs.

If your EarthLink address ends in @mindspring.com then use:
smtp.mindspring.com
for all your outgoing mail needs.
