If it does not allow a connection from some locates but it does allow a connection from another location then it's highly possible the connection is being blocked by the network you are on. Many sites block outbound port 25 connections. An easy way to test is: telnet your-mail-servers-ip 25 If you do not get a connection then it is being blocked by some firewall. Ken Jones
