Hi Reuben I thought I knew why you did that but one can never be sure! ;) Thanks for the info. I have tried it out on the postfix server so far and have got nowhere. The server is still not accepting on 25. I have created a special rule for the firewall from my address so that I can log each of my attempts and I see the firewall allows the access to the server immediately with no problem, so the issue is still somewhere at the server end. See my previous message to this list re the postfix server?
