Thanks Chuck.   

The somehow was under evolution sending mail configuration:
Check "server requires autentication", then press the "Check for
supported types". I verified this with a dup.prodigy.net address which
is probably blocked too. Either NTLM/SPA, DIGEST-MD5, CRAM-MD5, or login
must rely on port 465.

I can imagine a scenario for a denial of service attack. Meanwhile I
cross my fingers that no one else of the FW users (about 5000) sends a
request on a non-enabled port.
