I don't know what the deal is here Ken, but consider yourself lucky. On several forums, people have reported this, and in fact, Earthlink's own C/S dept says that both in and outbound 25 is blocked. They did not make any exceptions.. Maybe you found a chink in the armor. <g> Could be terrific news..
The connection is actually with Sprint and Earthlink is the ISP if that make a difference.
This is a riot.. Ken, I have the same thing !! I have DSL with Sprint, and Earthlink is the ISP behind it.. Previously, knowing the above, I set up a separate mail/DNS server elsewhere, using a higher port, so I can relay my mail from my domains to the remote server... Earthlink told me that 25 in and out was shut down.. but you know first line techs.. they don't always know the correct answer.. Can you also send mail using SMTP on port 25, and receive mail on 25,for your domain on your static IP at Sprint... If so, this would be great, and I can bring back in my DNS/Mail servers, and not manage them remotely. You cannot tell with the EZMLM that SUSE uses, but in normal mail, you would see my mail trail showing both SMTP connections. <g> Anxiously awaiting your reply.. <g> -- Gary
