Marcin,
I don't know what you have for settings, but when I telnet to port 25, I do
get connected, but when I issue standard SMTP commands, I get disconnected.
I can only think that this is exactly what is happening to your, too. Which
is going to make getting inbound email and sending outbound, very difficult.
