I have a strange problem where port 8025 is blocked on my server. Trying to connect with telnet, here is the response; david$ telnet banning.ca 8025 Trying 127.0.0.1... telnet: connect to address 127.0.0.1: Connection refused telnet: Unable to connect to remote host Yet I host 6 other domains on the same server, and all the others seems to be fine; david$ telnet optexstaging.com 8025 Trying 209.161.205.12... Connected to optexstaging.com. Escape character is '^]'. 220 3s1.com ESMTP tmda-ofmipd quit It makes no difference whether I enable the firewall or not.

Looking at the erroneous message, I see that banning.ca is being directed to 127.0.0.1 - why would that happen? Any direction would be helpful.
