When trying to connect to port 25 on that machine, I get the following... Trying 213.x.x.x... Connected to services.realtime.co.uk. Escape character is '^]'. It sits like this for about 34 seconds and then I get 220 mail.myserver.com ESMTP Exim 3.22 #1 Fri, 13 Jul 2001 16:51:10 +0100 What could be causing this? Telnet to port 113 on the machine gives me telnet: connect to address 213.x.x.x: Connection refused telnet: Unable to connect to remote host instantly, so it's not sitting dropping packets at the firewall for auth or anything like that.... ?
