To me, that sounds like your external network might be blocking outgoing tr= affic on port 25. Can you connect to any other mailservers on port 25? %telnet gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com 25 Trying 74.125.77.27... telnet: connect to address 74.125.77.27: Connection refused telnet: Unable to connect to remote host My isp is blocking outgoing traffic on port 25. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org= " =A0 I am not surprised.

Gone are the days when I could run my own mailserver at home.
