You could, instead, enable Port 587 in each of your non-Bresnan accounts,
and use the normal smtp for each of those accounts instead (smtp.mac.com,
whatever).

My broadband ISP is Charter Pipeline, and they blocked Port 25 for
everything but charter.net, and I needed to do this to send Earthlink mail
using smtpauth.earthlink.net, and .Mac mail with smtp.mac.com. Like you, I
was getting flack for sending Earthlink mail with a Charter reply to --
flagged as spam when the servers didn't match up.
