    Is your server in a local network, behind a router?

    the mail server is in a dmz off the router. This is what my network looks like,
    apparently connections are ok from outside, but not from inside.
    can you suggest a solution??

    What's the output of
    Code:
    telnet mail.barrysul.com 25
    from within your network?
