Hi All,

Am trying to:

telnet mail.kamakura.co.nz 25

as our private mail host. Our ISP (TelstraClear/Paradise) insists there is no filtering/blocking on 25, and that the problem is on my PC. My service host (different to ISP) insists that the site is fine (and it is, we can connect from other locations to email, it's just this new ISP setup).

The connection fails for:

telnet mail.kamakura.co.nz 25 and
telnet smtp.paradise.net.nz 25 this is my ISPs SMTP.

However, I can connect to:

telnet smtp.xtra.co.nz 25 (a rival to our ISP)

So this suggests that there is no problem with accesing Port 25 from my PC. I was previously running NOD32, but have totally unistalled it. Have taken down Windows Firewall; rebooted numerous times, have no other Virus/Spy based software even installed.

Tried everything, but failing dismally....

Can anybody assist?

Thanks,
Todd
