Or, as others have suggested, just use an external relay host.  Cox
doesn't and won't be blocking 22 and you said that you admin servers
professionally.  So port forward local:25 to remote:25 over ssh and be
done with it.  The great advantage here is that it's pretty much
guaranteed to work whatever network you're on because nobody (or
almost nobody) blocks 25.
