When I try to connect to my mailserver from my home pc like this

telnet whomakescoffee.com 25

I cannot connect. If I type in the same command on my server there is no problem. I have also tried turning off windows firewall. If I use the command (on the server):

iptables -L

I have the following rules

Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target     prot opt source               destination
ufw-before-logging-input  all  --  anywhere             anywhere

I am using slicehost where I set up a VPS. Can they block me on port 25 or what is going on?

Thank you for your time :)

    It seems far more likely that your home ISP is blocking port 25. That is somewhat common these days as a way to reduce spam. Can you connect to anything else on port 25? – Zoredache Jul 27 '10 at 22:49

Agreed. It is probably your ISP. Change your mail server to listen on a second port, such as 26 or 587 and try that.
