Believe me, this is a firewall problem. The remote machine
(skytrackwhatever) , in your case might be having a firewall which is
blocking an SMTP connection generating from an arbitrary port from your
machine. You can try telnetting to other smtp servers. You can find the smtp
server for a domain by the command :
host -t mx blahblah.com
