URGENT PLEASE: 3rd Time Installing and Still Have SMTP Issues with PostFix
Hello There,
I need some help with my SMTP settings. I followed this tutorial to the 't':
http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect-se...64-ispconfig-3
First the problem.
I cannot connect to my SMTP externally from my server. If a telnet on the server I get a response but when I telnet on a separate machine I get "Unable to connect to remote host". After trying telnet I tried added my account to an email client with password authentication and still unable to connect.
Here is some output information:
postconf -a
postconf -A
postconf -m
Code:

environ

Is there some other firewall (e.g. on your router) that blocks port 25? It is also possible that your ISP is blocking port 25.

Falko, you are right. The most obvious solution is sometimes the most difficult to see.
I changed the SMTP port to 2525 and now things are working. My ISP must be blocking port 25. Need to get this corrected.
Thank you for your help.

After checking with the ISP provider, they have assured me that port 25 is not being blocked. So I am still trying to figure out why my SMTP doesn't work on port 25.

Did you check your router firewall?

No router installed. What is really odd is that when use a mail client to send and receive through port 2525 seems to be working fine. However, all emails that are sent out are addressed with the server name "name@isone.example.com" and also "name@example.com".
When sending an email from the system, localhost, using Java Mail and using SMTP setting mail.example.com through port 2525 all emails are marked as "Relay Access Denied".
Do you think this has anything to do with my DNS settings?

Please use localhost instead of mail.example.com - that way you don't have to authenticate.

Do you really use IPs starting with 00, or do you just use this here in the forum to hide your real IP?

Falko I am using localhost for the time being and yes I am hiding the IP addresses in this posting thus they begin with 00. I'm surprised that no one else had the same issue as I used the tutorial 3 times and got the same result.
Regarding the below two items where would you being your troubleshooting?
What is really odd is that when use a mail client to send and receive through port 2525 seems to be working fine. However, all emails that are sent out are addressed with the server name "name@isone.example.com" and also "name@example.com".

Please make sure you set the correct sender address in your email client.
