So if your ISP blocks the port for you 25 what does that really mean? you can't get your ISP mails anymore and can't send even though you using POP3 Access?

A) If your ISP blocks port 25 for you, it really means the ISP made a decision that complaints about blocked port 25 was less important than the benefits from blocking port 25.

B) Or, you could be sending a gazillion viral emails and it means you need to clean up your systems.

If you ask your ISP why they blocked you, they might give you a straight answer. Sometimes the people answering the phones (tier 1 or 2) do not know exactly why tiers 3-5 have done what they've done, so you might not get a straight answer, because the people answering the phones may simply not know for sure, even if they're otherwise well informed and technically adept.

If you don't think you're doing anything wrong, it probably doesn't mean much more than A) or B).

Or did you think your ISP is out to GETCHA? If so, why do you think that?
