In the first part of the message, yourãtalking about netmail, as in a message sent via a mailer, such as Irex, Argus,ãetc... FTN netmail. The second part your talking about your mail server forãe-mail, pop3, etc.. ããI make a quick check for you on your port 25 and 110 SMTP/POP3... Here's theãanswer:ããsniper@proxy:~$ telnet cyber-station1.com 25ãTrying 64.202.167.129...ãConnected to ip-64-202-167-129.secureserver.net.ãEscape character is '^]'.ã^]ããNo answer.ããsniper@proxy:~$ telnet cyber-station1.com 110ãTrying 64.202.167.129...ãtelnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection timed outããNo answer.ããSo, there's 2 possiblities... From your statement above, you don't have eitherãof these ports configured in your router, so, of course, this is what you wouldãget...
