I tried telnet'ing from outside to our SMTP server(on port 25) and I got a connection refused. I thought if this was the case you could not receive email from outside??? Am I wrong? I just sent an email from outside and it came right through. I can telnet from to our internal address just fine (NAT is in use) And sent email from the command line to my outside email address just fine. Is it normal for the TO: field to be blank when doing this?

There have been email problems between us and another agency.
