Your ISP may be blocking port 25 outside of their own network. |

Most likely you need to configure postfix to relay mail through your ISP's |
| 6 |
mail server rather than just use your own. |

A lot of ISP's do this so they don't have to handle complaints about spam |
| 11 |
originating from one of their users. |

Greetings, |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
I have a partially working Postfix installation. It delivers messages |
| 28 |
on the localhost. It'll receive messages from the internet. But, it will |
| 29 |
not send messages to any hosts on the internet. I've checked my iptables |
| 30 |
and port 25 is open both ways. Also, each error I've gotten has been that |
| 31 |
the target smtp server has "Timed Out." Can anyone point me in the right |
| 32 |
direction? Postfix? Firewall? Host or Domain Name resolution? Other? |
| 33 |
|

Thank you for your time. |
