Can't send outgoing mail thru AT & T from my domain

I'm using MailEnable Pro on my Win2K machine, and what I've found is that AT & T Broadband blocks outgoing mail sent from domains that I host on my server - I can only get incoming to the domains, or sending locally from one domain to another. So I can't set up autoforwarding from any of my domains to anyone outside my network, or anyone except an AT & T Broadband address. Anyone know of a workaround? I tried changing the SMTP port from 25 to 26, but no go. Perhaps if I use a port numbered far away from these?
 
It could be one of two things that I can think of.

1. AT&T may not allow relaying. If this is the case you should be able to call their customer service dept. and get this opened up for your hosted domains.

2. You may have an open relay on your domain and are being blocked by AT&T and others because your on an open relay list.

If you want me to check and see if your on an open relay list just let me know the domain names and I'll check.
