The fact that it is resolving means that you have a DNS server that is
working properly. But, you can't connect to their mail server for some
reason. I'm betting you have a firewall in the way, or don't have your
network connection set up right. Try doing a "tracert 198.143.238.110", and
see what happens. You'll likely see that you can't get there from here.
If tracert does get there, try "telnet 198.143.238.110 25", see if that
works. If that doesn't work, then your ISP may prevent you from accessing
port 25 (typically only dialup accounts do this, though, not dedicated
connections). If you can't telnet to port 25, but can telnet to another
port (say, 110 for POP3), then someone somewhere is blocking port 25 access
(your firewall, your ISP, etc.).
