Port 25 and my website

Do you have any idea what you're saying? Why are you assuming that because people cant send you emails, that port 25 is blocked? Is your MX record setup properly? Is your server setup properly to handle incoming email?
 
Many ISP's block port 25. You sure it's not your local provider blocking it?

I was about to say the same thing... Many, especially larger ISPs, block port 25 except to their own smtp servers. That doesn't prevent you from using email addresses from your domain. It just means you send them via your ISP.
 
Ok, guys, I have everything setup fine. What I am asking is suggestions on webhosting that will give me SMTP and POP3, so I can use outlook express properly, instead of using the pop3 server from my hosting company, and my SMTP server from my ISP, I dont like this. I know there are hosting companies out there that open different ports, such as port 26, which will be a pain free way of recieving and sending emails.

Unless theyblock 110 also, didn't check, your POP mail server will be your mailserver.yourdomain.whatever but SMTP server will be charter's. Your From email address will be your email at the domain. But you'll probably need to setup your mail program to login to charter's mail server when sending. Often it's defaulted to be the same as the incoming POP, but you'll need to override that.

I dont see a problem with using your ISP's SMTP server at all.

I can't use my ISP's SMTP server because it has to be authenticated with an sbcglobal.net email account and I don't use that for my email.

That's not usually a problem. What you login with is separate from your "From" address. Or are you saying they check that too? I'd be surprised.

We're trying... but you're making assumptions that have turned out not to be right.

Edit:

So here condensed version of what I was saying
From address: youname@yourdomain.com
pop server: mailserver@yourdomain.com
pop username/password: (your domain info)
smtp server: server@sbcwhatever.net
smtp username/password: (yoru SBC info)

Have you tried that?
