Yes, I can connect and "talk" with them.

They are probably different servers. The mx servers for gmx.net can be found with the command:

> dig mx gmx.ch.
or
> host -t mx gmx.ch.

and they are:
10 mx0.gmx.net.
10 mx0.gmx.de.

Both hostnames have the same priority and point to the same multihomed IP: 213.165.64.100
While mail.gmx.net is a different server:
mail.gmx.net.           7200    IN      A       213.165.64.20
mail.gmx.net.           7200    IN      A       213.165.64.21

Maybe your provider is filtering outgoing smtp connection (port 25) but the one directed to their own mailserver (mail.gmx.net).

If you can't have the provider to remove this filter you could configure the james RemoteDelivery service to use "mail.gmx.net." as a gateway. Of course this is not the same thing of connecting to the final host, but maybe this fix your problem.

You can either solve the network/filter/firewall problem (but this is not the appropriate list, and you can see if you fixed this by using the telnet command) or you can try the gateway option.

Maybe you have the same issue and this helps.
