    Then Postfix isn't running, or a firewall is blocking it.
    What's the output of
    Code:
    netstat -tap
    and
    Code:
    iptables -L
    ?
    Do you have a desktop firewall? That might also be the problem. Try to switch it off for testing purposes.

    I get this:

    Code:
    telnet 70.147.153.69 25
    Trying 70.147.153.69...
    Connected to 70.147.153.69.
    Escape character is '^]'.
    and then it hangs. So Postfix is running, but I guess myhostname is wrong. What's in /etc/postfix/main.cf and in /etc/resolv.conf?

    Edit: Forget the above, it just took a little bit longer (10 seconds or so) until the server responded. This is the output:

    Code:
    mh1:~# telnet 70.147.153.69 25
    Trying 70.147.153.69...
    Connected to 70.147.153.69.
    Escape character is '^]'.

    As far as I can see this is ok. Please check your desktop firewall.
