I'm thinking I may not have explained this properly. My local ISP is Cox and I get the above list of filtered ports when port scanning my remote machine which is hosted halfway across the country. Cox can't prevent me from scanning the SMTP port on my remote machine right? My host must be filtering the ports?
It's fairly standard practice on large mostly residential user ISPs to filter outgoing port 25 traffic to any IP, but the local SMTP servers. This stops a fair amount of spam, but can make troubleshooting complicated.
