Pardon me, I've just telnetted to mail.jpearl.org port 25, and captured the 
traffic with a network analyser.

The result: I send you SYN packets to set up the connection, you never reply. 
I think that is what is termed "stealthed". Therefore I believe you have a 
firewall installed somewhere. (Maybe at the ISP.) On a non-functioning 
connection without a firewall I would expect to see a FIN/RST packet 
returned. Of course those packets *might* be getting lost on the return trip.
