Being unable to connect to port 25 doesn't mean anything. AFAIK there is no RFC or other standard saying that to send email with smtp you must accept email by smtp. It is normal (or at least common) to verify that the sender's domain at least appears to accept mail but a given mail relay could be dedicated to outgoing mail and there's no reason that it must accept mail. -- Fraser Campbell <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.wehave.net/ Georgetown, Ontario, Canada Debian GNU/Linux
