While talking to the admins, you might show them your traceroute too.  

It's a bit strange that bbrb-isp.Stanford.EDU responds to traceroutes 
from the outside, but not from your internal machine.  Of course it may 
be that the port 80 blocking (and/or traceroute blocking) is occurring 
on another router between you and bbrb-isp .. we can see at least two.

Obviously mail works both ways.  tcptraceroute was also a good clue.
