Earthlink is not alone in doing this. I travel alot and I've found many hotel broadband companies do the same thing.
My solution was to have my mail server listen TCP 2525 in addition to the regular 25.
On my laptop, I just set my outbound mailserver to mail.gurulabs.com:2525
I use SMTPAuth+StartTLS configured in Postfix and in my mail client (Evolution) for secure, authenticated relaying no matter what IP address my laptop has.
