mx and port 25

[RoaldS1971]

Hi.

My isp has for sure blocked port 25.
I found that out after I got a domain name, installed a Exchange 2000 server, and tried to recieve mail from the internet.
All dns and mx records are correct, and I can send/recieve mail internally, and send mail out to the internet.

Is there really nothing more to do?
I would like to "fool" my isp somehow, so that i can recieve mail . . .

But maybe there is nothing to do?

Regards,
Roald

what's your domain name? I'd like to test it if you don't mind...

Hi. My domain is kvernevik.com

Ya, your blocked. You might be able to forward through them using them as a smart host. I haven't ever tried this so I don't speak from experience. Maybe someone in here knows better setting up exchange to forward through a smart host.

POP isn't blocked though.... Why don't you call your ISP, maybe it's just a mistake?

Hi.
Tom:
I'm not so familiar with how "smarthost" works. I will try to check it out.
You got any ideas how I could try this out?

Bronto:
I have sendt them a mail, and they have confirmed to me that they have blocked port 25. It's (UPC) Chello Networks (cable), in Norway.
They like to control my bandwidth, and (obviously) they dont want us to use our bandwidth as we please (it sucks).
So I hoped there was a way around this....
