Are you behind a web proxy or something? Or are you behind a > firewall that blocks outbound port 25? ====No. Outbound port is not blocked because I am sending mail to rest of the planet. Have configured my local mail server for direct submission. Only cannot connect to 66.150.206.161 on SMTP irrespective of domains hosted on that server. Our hosting service provider also have their mail box on that server and I cannot send them mail! Had seen a similar problem with both SMTP & POP3. On a DSL line from BSNL you cannot access VSNL-Kolkata mail boxes. Seems they have blocked access from IP ranges DSL is using. Maybe something similar is done here. Don't know who to catch hold off.
