Well, if you're trying to test it using NetZero as your ISP, you'll have to
do it through telnet..  Port 25 is blocked by NetZero for every server
except itself..  That's one reason why I got rid of it...  So do most of the
big ISPs, which I can't stand..  It's to help stop spamming...  We still
have a virt server setup with our old isp, so I telnet into it from windows,
then telnet to my box at the command line on port 25 to test it and make
sure it's answering and stuff..  If you do make it to your box, and still
can't email, then that could be a relay prob..  But I'm still a newbie,
correct if I'm wrong someone..
