I'm having the devil's time trying to get my linux system to accept smtp
mail.  I've got my router set up forward smtp traffic to my linux/bbs box. 
I have it set up to forward telnet(23) and http(80) as well, and they work. 
So I'm wondering why it won't work for smtp(25).  from my linux box, I can
telnet to port 25 and talk to postifx, and I can send mail from my box to
local users on my box, so I know that postfix is working on the proper port.

I have the domain cyberia.darktech.org, but I don't know if it is sending mx
records or not.  I have a secondary domain, cyberiabbs.zapto.org, and is
positivly setup to send mx records, and I've tried sending mail to my
dperry@cyberiabbs.zapto.org address, but it just keeps coming back saying
that it couldn't make a smtp connection.

So, what are my options?  Is it a problem with my provider?  Are they
blocking the port?  They arn't blocking any other port that I can tell.
