I assume this is because your ISP is blocking outbound port 25...many of them do. They do this mostly to keep botnets from spamming people.
One option would be to create a gmail account and use it to relay the email. Gmail's SSL-enabled SMTP servers listen on port 465, which may not be blocked. CPAN has Email::Send::Gmail, or you could configure a local sendmail/postfix/whatever instance to relay it. Also, if having the notification come from a gmail.com address isn't desirable, you can use your own domains if you have a Google Apps account.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
