    Right, servers on your LAN can still run as clients to the Internet, and
    I've not seen a TOS that bans that.

    It's becoming more common to block port 25 outbound, but a sensible ISP
    will unblock it on request, as the people who know to ask are generally not
    the kind who's machines get turned into zombies. Even if they won't unblock
    port 25, you can usually use the submission port (587) to submit mail to
    another ISP. If you run a mail server, you should run an authenticated
    listener on that port to handle your road warriors.
