Hi there,
Sorry I don't get it. What eventually I am saying here is that I tried a telnet session on port 25 from a node on the legit lan network to the Xmail box which sits on the DMZ. You see, I thought that the f/w would block the connection but it didn't. Why should I telnet to port 25 on the hotmail site ? The xmail box is supposed to talk to my ISP pop3 box anyway. I don't get it.. s. >Telnet out to hotmail's smtp server instead. It's possible that your ISP is >firewalling port 25 from outbound connections to make sure that everyone >uses their smtp gateway.
