smtp server test?

[Chris Sweeney]

You also have to think of major ISP and corps that have multiple email
servers.  MANY MANY of them I know of have separate incomming and outgoing
machines and many times multiple machines.  For security and redundency many
only accept connections to one port per server, so if its an outgoing
server, no ports are open to incomming connections.

If you do that, you won't ever get any mail from me for starters. My
outgoing mail handlers don't listen for SMTP from the net as well, that is
handled by other MX servers.
