As I mentioned earlier, I can connect to other IMAP servers from home, so it's not a firewall issue. I connected to your mail server "bobjr" using "telnet mail.joyner.ws 993" with no problems.

Again, I connected to your mail server on port 993 OK.

"telnet mail.trilug.org 25" hangs.
My traceroute tests from home show that I can get as far as Inflow. But not much further.
