A simple solution would be to set up an SMTP relay at your site (Phatservers) on a non-standard smtp port (other than 25), like 8025. Then you could send outbound smtp from your desktop via your Cox cable modem without being blocked. You would have to set up your mail client to use the non-standard port. After receiving mail on the non-standard port, your SMTP relay would then forward the mail on SMTP port 25. If Cox persists in blocking outbound 25, it's your only option, unless you use their SMTP relays or some kind of webmail.
Cox can go fuck themselves.
