Not so :

* all you need is an ISP which offers for free or as a non free option a 
fixed IPv4 address (my case is "comes together, no extra cost"...) [see 
also inbound 25], and a "domain" you own.

* If your mail cannot outbound from your ISP net /25, you can also relay 
on your ISP servers (can't reamain the option in Postfix, but it is like 
"forwarders" in Bind). This is a bad workaround -- no direct "talk", you 
can be spied -- Not my case : there is an option on my ADSL box setup to 
allow outbound 25 :)

* "normally" there is no restriction on 25/inbound on any ISP. If any, 
the only solution is to switch... ISP

* "submission" port is for your personal access to your server to post 
while you connect from any location (never filtered by isps). I had to 
setup that after a journey "read only" in my family with "no TSP/UDP 25 
outbound" :P



[about wrong reply]
All my apologies on that, I forgotten to hit "reply to list", while my 
habits was using Mutt but switched on Icedove recently (my family uses 
HTML mails, and so on).

And... this post I currently quote was addressed by author to me _and_ 
ML, then the "reply-to list" switched to him. Grumpf  !

As said in a follow-up, a Reply-To will help :)

As a notice : this is also sadly really difficult to setup Mutt 
(text-mail client) with smtp+SSL and imaps, maybe Mutt authors could 
work on that, then integrate html.

Best regards,
TSFH.
