Well, I know when I want to support it, I want as much info
as possible.  :)  

I emailed you privatley on this, but in case anyone else
has similar problems, here is what I told Art.

With MAILROUTER set and FIREWALL set to *NO, then the mail router isn't
being used.  This means that the SMTP server will try and send mail directly
to the recipient.

I'm pretty sure your ISP blocks port 25 this way, so normal consumers can't
set up mail servers.  (corp accts are different).

But, if you use their mail router, then everything should
work fine.  So if you set FIREWALL to *YES, stop and
restart your SMTP server, things should work fine again as you'll be using
their specified mail router.

This may or may not be the case, but it is what I'm
assuming, and why you're seeing port 25 blocked.  It's not blocked on the
mail router you "thought" you were using, it's blocked from your connection
to the rest of the internet (which you didn't realize you were doing?)
