Yes we are behind a firewall. and and the server is hosted at a hosting
company.
We have told them that we need port 25 open to send out emails. I will
confirm with them again

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.).
