Or, as Piete Brookes was implying, there's port 25 blocking involved. If you
are using Cambridge University networks at all (e.g. the Magpie dial-up service),
that is very likely: read the rules! Compare the responses to
telnet list.theplanet.net smtp
with other ports (well, list.theplanet.net may not be the best host to try!).
