Cannot Telnet to Port 25

[Scott Gold]

On 2 separate Windows 2000 Small Business Servers, in 2 different domains, I
cannot telnet to Port 25, even from the local host. The message returned is:
"Could not open a connection to host on port 25". SMTP appears to be
configured properly, and netstat -an shows that TCP is listening on the port.
I need to set up the shared fax service to forward to e-mail in each of these
domains, yet this problem appears to be what's blocking it.

Can anyone help?

I don't see how this is an Outlook issue.

Whoops. That's what I get for trying to post as the boss is closing up the
office.
