Just a wild guess; but it sounds like your ISP is blocking port 25 from its users in an attempt to reduce spam**... Earthlink/Mindspring recently did that here in the US for dialup users... My ISP does not block port 25, at least not from my DSL; so I can mail out fine. The problem occurs when my wife uses her Mindspring account to email when dialed in. I've setup a workaround (see http://pfortin.com/Linux/PostFix/); but in your case, it sounds like the xDSL link has the filter... if so, you'll have to talk to your ISP to have it removed -- if they won't remove it, you may have to search for an e-mail provider who doesn't mind opening up another port (see my web page) for incoming mail from trusted, but blocked users. ** to test this theory, try "telnet <remote_host> <port>" where port is 80, then 23... if the remote_host is known to have both www and a mailer, you should get responses from both commands: $ telnet mandrake-linux.com 80 Trying 63.209.80.235... Connected to linux-mandrake.com (63.209.80.235). Escape character is '^]'. quit [snipped html] Connection closed by foreign host. $ telnet mandrake-linux.com 25 Trying 63.209.80.235... telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused Even though the 2nd one failed, it still confirms that port 25 is open from me to mandrake-linux.com; otherwise, it would just silently fail. Note: type "quit" in each case to end the session, if established. HTH, Pierre
