From the outside, try to telnet to port 25; you should get something like this:
|cer@nimrodel:~> telnet localhost 25 |Trying ::1... |telnet: connect to address ::1: Connection refused |Trying 127.0.0.1... |Connected to localhost. |Escape character is '^]'. |220 nimrodel.valinor ESMTP Postfix |QUIT |221 Bye |Connection closed by foreign host. |cer@nimrodel:~> If you sauced, then you might need a domain name, with an MX field - ie, when you use "host -t MX host.domain" you must get an answer. Mailers use type MX queries. If you can not telnet in to port 25, then your ISP is blocking it. -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson
