If you are behind a residential DSL line, your ISP is probably filtering
outgoing smtp connections. It's often the case, to "prevent" spammers to use
their cheap DSL line to flood the planet.

r...@srv(~)# telnet mail.aphrc.org 25
Trying 41.220.120.26...
Connected to mail.aphrc.org (41.220.120.26).
Escape character is '^]'.
220 aphrc.org ESMTP Postfix
QUIT
221 2.0.0 Bye
Connection closed by foreign host.
