Hopian.net has 3rd party hosting with powweb and I use GFI for pop3 downloading into exchange. hopianmail.net should be setup to point mail to my internal server directly here (unless I messed up on the MX record but as far as I can tell it is setup correctly) - am using custom domain dyndns service for this. I do have ping disabled on the router which would explain the ping timeout. I am curious if people are capable of connecting to port 25 via telnet though. Sorry, I should have clarified this from the start. Thanks! Devin ________________________________ From: Michael B.

I have opened port 25 on the router and have pointed it to the server's ip. Nslookup is telling me the MX record is active and working correctly but unfortunately I don't have any other means of internet access to test stuff with I was hoping someone could telnet into hopianmail.net on port 25 and verify for me whether they are capable of connecting. Thank you in advance, and again sorry for spamming concerning this.
