outbound smtp from web edition not working

Windows 2003 Web Edition Server Service Pack 1.
computer name servweb.mydomain.com

I have the default smtp vertual server installed and running on this box
(servweb). While sitting at servmail.mydomain.com I can "telnet
servweb.mydomain.com" and obtain a successful connection. However if I try
the inverse of that and sit down in front of servweb and type “telnet
servmail.mydomain.com� (which is running an smtp vertual server as well) I
get the “Connection To servweb.mydomain.com…could not open connection to the
host, on port 25� (side note these two machines are on the same segment...no
router between them). As it turns out while sitting at servweb I can’t
telnet to localhost or any other host that I know is running smtp. Is there
a setting that I can check or a diagnostic tool which would allow me to see
if outbound smtp traffic is being blocked or interrupted on servweb? Thanks
in advance.

One other thought that just occured to me:
I have CDonts installed on this machine for use by some classic ASP
applications. Would CDonts disable the servers ability to initiate a SMTP
connection with a different SMTP server?
