BTW, most hotels I've been at do provide some means to unblock port
25, the assumption being that if you're clueful enough to accomplish
that, you probably don't have any bots running on your laptop.
There's actually a website you can hit for most of them that will do
it, but I don't remember what it is (I just went the easy route and
opened 587 on my mail server).
