I tried that already. I ssh'd to ecf.utoronto.ca and from there tried
telneting to port 25 on my machine (naasking.homeip.net) and it worked just
as it did from inside my network. Perhaps I should have been more explicit
when I said I eliminated this possibility. Thanks for the help though. Any
other suggestions?
Sincerely,
Sandro
