ISPs in an attempt to stop spammers have been implementing ways to make
you use their SMTP services. They also use this as a form of control. If
you are running a mail server outside of Orange, then set it to listen on
port 2525 as Orange only block port 25.

You may find Tiscali is doing the same port blocking, they are probably
blocking the secure ports too so googlemail won't work neither.
