Thanks, Steve, for your help. Your first idea was correct. Windows
update enabled the firewall. Thanks for your help.

Have those nice Windows people turned on a firewall in one of their
updates.

Has your ISP stopped inbound port 25 connections?

Trying to telnet to the MX holder of karuza.com gives nothing.

$ telnet jasonk.hopto.org 25
Trying 69.237.44.33...

Just port 25 then.

An ISP that doesn't understand mail servers. Wow.

You have Exim listening on port 25 to receive mail. IMAP and POP3 are
irrelevant here.

That's a new one for me.


Try:

telnet localhost 25

You should get a line that starts:

220
