Hello,

Does you, or your ISP block outgoing port 25?

Do you run this on a machine that can be considered to be a valid email
server? (For example, you do not have dynamic IP).

Because of all spam, email server administrators use various attempts to
reduce the number of spam sent to their users, by for example making sure
that the sending email server is a true email server.

Many ISP's don't allow mail servers to run on their clients and block
port 25. It cures a number of trojan/virus issues and keeps the ISP
from getting blacklisted as a spam network.

many services, such as Hotmail, refuse connetions from dynamic IP
addresses since they are often used for sending spam.

Get your ISP to give you a static IP address and allow you to use a
mail server. If you don't, your chances of being blocked by mail
servers are getting higher every day.

Hello,

If you cannot connect on port 25 to a machine that you know should work to
connect to this port, then it is likely that your ISP blocks port 25.

I suggest that you contact your ISP about this.
