I just run a small server, mainly as a hobby, which I also use to provide
email service for my immediate family members. I have it all working
fine, except for one odd problem.
While I'm able to read my email globally, I find from my inlaws house I
cannot send any email. All I've found so far is I never receive a 220
message from the server:
$ telnet tigger.net 25
Trying 198.59.16.20...
Connected to tigger.net.
Escape character is '^]'.
Connection closed by foreign host.
This isn't an issue from any other location I've tried over several years.
I tried disabling iptables on the server, and the problem persists,
suggesting I might be able to rule that out as part of the problem.
Thoughts on where I should start?
Thanks,

See if a connection is logged by postfix. If not, then
something outside of postfix is blocking your connection.
Suspects are a firewall at the ISP, or a firewall in front of
postfix.
As a general rule, you'll have better luck using the
'submission' port 587 to send mail from "home" networks or
hotspots. Uncomment the 'submission' entry in your master.cf
and stop/start postfix to enable it.
