You don't have to do your own delivery to handle e-mail notification. In fact, even if outbound 25 isn't blocked, doing your own delivery from a dynamic IP is a perfect way to get your email bounced or marked as spam by many organizations.
You should just have your local MTA smarthost through your ISP's mail server (which won't be blocked) or some other server that'll let you send via SMTP w/ TLS on port 587 (or maybe SSL on 465).

# This is the main Apache HTTP server configuration file. It contains the

# In particular, see

#
# Configuration and logfile names: If the filenames you specify for many
# of the server's control files begin with "/" (or "drive:/" for Win32), the
# server will use that explicit path. If the filenames do *not* begin
# with "/", the value of ServerRoot is prepended -- so "var/log/apache2/foo.log"
# with ServerRoot set to "/usr" will be interpreted by the
# server as "/usr/var/log/apache2/foo.log".
# ServerRoot: The top of the directory tree under which the server's
# configuration, error, and log files are kept.
#
# Do not add a slash at the end of the directory path. If you point
# ServerRoot at a non-local disk, be sure to point the LockFile directive
# at a local disk. If you wish to share the same ServerRoot for multiple
# httpd daemons, you will need to change at least LockFile and PidFile.

# Please see the documentation at

# You may use the command line option '-S' to verify your virtual host
# configuration.
