If you're on residential broadband, a lot of ISPs block incoming traffic to port 25 in order to try to control spam. So you're limited when it comes to running a mail server on DSL or cable modems. <div><br></div>
<div>You might try testing it with a telnet connection to port 25 of your IP from outside your network. I'm assuming your gateway box is connected directly to the internet. If it's behind a router you'll have to port forward 25. </div>
