I am thinking about enabling my gateway's sendmail email server to receive email directly from the public internet and also installing apache to serve my own home page. I have 24/7 cable internet connection plus an registered domain name which goes no place right now. I know I can not ask my ISP's tech support if they block ports 110, 25, and 80, because they will get suspicious and monitor my account. Want to stay under their radar. So I need a way to test if the ports are blocked or not using an friends PC and my current IP address. What do you recommend?
