Does your ISP block port 25?

I actually have an open ticket with the to check. May I also ask if not having an rDNS will also affect the telnet results to these smtp servers? Although my rDNS is already propagating.

Hi Zhang,

This issue is now resolved. Had a hunch with the ISP blocking port 25 by default. Had a conversation with them earlier and I am now able to send/receive to external DNS.

Thanks for the reply.
