Does your ISP permit you to run SMTP servers? Many have been bitten very badly by clueless windows users, and so deny use of SMTP to all. Sometime this proscription also extends to enforcement by transparent proxying or other measures to control SMTP traffic from their clients. You should check with them as to what their policy is. Can you telnet to port 25 on the UMD server or the ISP's server you're trying to connect to? If you can't get a connection established, I'd suspect the problem is firewalling somewhere between you and them.
