Because: - you can ping by name to the outside mail server, so network connectivity and DNS setup is OK. - you cannot telnet its port 25, so this is administratively prohibited. Same thing applies for your mail server. You wont be able to do anything against it on your own side, except for writing harsh emails to your ISP... Only exception would be a misconfigured firewall on your side, but i don't suspect so. Well, and luckily they didn't block incoming SMTP, that's at least something;-) Maybe you have some internet server at hand that you could use to set up your own outgoing relay server? It could listen on a port != 25. HWH -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
