If a Bellsouth customer is paying Yahoo! $19.95 for an email account, he has 
authorization to use the smtp.mail.yahoo.com server, which currently expects 
incoming connections on port 25. But Bellsouth is blocking their customer 
from accessing smtp.mail.yahoo.com by blocking port 25 out. The solution, 
according to the RFCs, is for Yahoo! to start allowing SMTP AUTH connections 
to smtp.mail.yahoo.com over port 587.
