Back when I was living in Japan I switched from Layer 1 from ADSL to FTTP with vDSL and all of a sudden I could no longer connect to port 25 on my server. Despite the fact that the underlying carrier was the same (NTT-East).
After a while I got fed up with running the old smtp-forward script and did some more research. To my surprise the submission (TCP/587) and smtps (TCP/465) were open as wide as one could hope for.
A couple of configuration steps in postfix and I was up and running without much trouble. Under /etc/postfix/master.cf ensure that the line submission and smtps are not commented.
