Depending which Internet service provider you are using for the server's
Internet access, you might also check if that ISP restricts port #25. To
minimize the abuse of open SMTP servers, lots of ISPs are restricting the use of
port#25 and might create a problem if you are using SMTP on your localhost
instead or theirs. In that case you might need to use your ISP's SMTP or alter
your port number.
