We just open port 2525 for customers from ISP's blocking official SMTP ports so they can use their dedicated servers/domain mailservers.

Is there any reason you do not use port 587, SUBMIT?

Except for those ISPs who choose to intercept port 587 as well. This is a big problem with Rogers in Vancouver. They hijack port 587 connections through some sort of lame proxy that connects you to your intended host,
but strips the AUTH field out of the EHLO response from the remote
submission server ...
