I commiserate with you. AT&T sucks :(

I just went through something similar.  Outbound port 25 is filtered to 
only allow connections to *their* email server.  I'm not even confident 
in their ability to put a stamp on a regular envelope.  After convincing 
them that I know what I'm doing and am willing to accept the risks of 
connecting the other evil servers out there they opened it up for me.
