NTL do not block incoming or outgoing connections to the SMTP port which seems to be what Zen Master is implying (or at least they don't in my region). I run my own mail server and this simply wouldn't work if any blocking was occuring.

Simple test is to use telnet from a command prompt and connect to the SMTP port of the intended server.

telnet mailserver.somedomain.com 25
