Telnetting to the server inside to port 25 reveals... Connected to 203.44.yyy.xx Escape character is ']'. Connection closed by foreign host. Why would it close instantly? Does this reveal while I can't send mail to any email account on it? Is this an exchange hassle? Is port 25 to be only tcp or udp as well. Thanks keith
