I'm trying to configure my E2K server w/sp3 to receive internet mail. I'm sitting behind a linksys router on a w2k network running sp3. I'm able to send mail externally with no problems. I am however unable to telnet to port 25 on my mail server. I keep getting connection to host lost errors whenever I attempt to telnet. I have created a new Recipient Policy and I'm using the default Relay Restrictions. Can anyone assist or point me to a suitable resource?
