This usually means you are using a connection to the server that crosses
from
one internet provider's equipment to another's before it gets to the server.
Such
connections to port 25 are often blocked to cause trouble for spammers, and
users aren't always told about changes in this blockage.
Check if Qwest allows you to use a different port instead:

These instructions were written for modem users, but should offer
some help to broadband users as well.
