connecting to mxfailover.krwdigital.com (mx1) from an adsl host (nat,
no firewall), returns a 220 with no delay
connecting to mxfailover.krwdigital.com (mx1) from an adsl host (nat,
cisco adsl router firewall, most ports blocked), returns a 220 with 30s
delay
connecting to mail.krwdigital.com (mx2) from an adsl host (nat, no
firewall), returns a 220 with no delay
connecting to mail.krwdigital.com (mx2) from an adsl host (nat, cisco
adsl router firewall, most ports blocked) gives no 220
