Would you please post your proceedure? I would like to do that too. I 
think my ISP blocks incomming port 25 and outgoing port 80. It also 
changes my public IP every so obten.

Free software is almost the same as open source software but the 
intentions of both movements are very distinct. Free software reaches 
for freedom. Opensource reaches for cheap, good software. The free 
software movement wouldn't mind to loose a little bit of temporary 
functionality or pay more to be free. The opensource movement wouldn't 
mind to loose a little freedom in order to pay less now or to have 
better quality software. Freedom takes strength and persistence but it 
is worthwile in the end.
