Many "residential" ISP services (particularly those from AT&T and
Verizon) block outbound activity on port 25 in an attempt to combat SPAM
(and to block "infected" systems from sending massive amounts of e-mail
that way).
That's why I setup my QMTs to listen on ports 587 (auth, but no SSL
required) and 465 (auth and SSL required)
- SOME of my clients insist on SSL connections for outside access,
thus the reason for the 2 ports
The WIKI has steps to show you how to make sure you're listening
(qmail-smtp) on the extra ports, as well as how to force AUTH and/or
TLS/SSL on the connections.
Personally, to avoid the "it works on my laptop at Starbucks, but not at
home" issues, I always configure IMAP connections to use ports 993 & 465.
Good luck!
