Re: ACL trouble - Testing connection to SMTP Server

No. That is a connection from home that I am trying to telnet in.
That's where I think the port 25 blocking is. My mail server is
connected to a T1 at another carrier. I am trying to telnet from my
home to the mail server at work.

We already have our mail hosted somewhere else so customers have been
using that. I need to test the mail server before I move the records
over because of that.

Thanks.

If an ISP is doing port 25 blocking, when I try to test getting through

blocked too?

I have rules to allow SMTP traffic through and was trying to test them
with this method and I saw nothing on my ACL firewall hits. I have
been very confused by this for several days. Then I tried to telnet
into port 25 on a company that i used to work for where this worked
(using a different ISP for connection) and it timed out.

Thanks.

I just noticed, your header info points your IP to 69.214.4.217 when I
telnet into that IP the connection is accepted but no SMTP banner
appears. Is 69.214.4.217 your IP?
