Are you behind a _firewall_ or a _proxy_? If you're behind a firewall
with ports 110 + 25 open for _out_going connex you should be able to
connect to your remote mailserver. Anyway it depends on the kind of
firewall or proxy how to handle these requests. Try to contact your
sysadmin or try to get hold on the manuals. There's no general rule how
to manage access. The mentioned ports represent POP3, SMTP, HTTP and
Telnet - guess configured for _out_going packets.
If there's a firewall, is it hardware (blackbox), sw based on filtering
at application or packet level - there are several choices :-)
BTW: I'm using a private LAN with an internal mailserver, a personal
firewall (@Guard) _and_ a proxy (WinGate) - all on one machine and never
had any problems after configuration was done.
