Port 25 blocked?

Clean WindowsServer2003 install.
SP1 and all security patches.
Installed IIS WEB & FTP services.
MCAffee antivirus.
WSUS update.

Cannot telnet on port 25 of a remote server.
Ping successful, telnet error.
This is the result of Microsoft "portquery" util:

------------
C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator>D:\camillo\PortQryV2\PortQr y.exe -n
157.28.152.201 -e 25

Querying target system called:

157.28.152.201

Attempting to resolve IP address to a name...


IP address resolved to postacm.mediaset.it

querying...

Error opening socket: 10053


A Winsock error has been encountered.

C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator>
-------------

What's the problem?
I am trying to send a mail from my WindowsServer2003 to a remote SMTP
server.

Thanks,
Camillo

Is the firewall on? Make an exception or temp turn it off. You can then try
and telnet to it and see if you get a response.

telnet 157.25.152.201 25

We are investigating...
WindowsServer2003 Firewall is off.
With McAfee Viruscan 8 disabled it seems that everything is fine!

Good morning.

I have taken the following lines from "Using McAfee VirusScan"

VSE 8.0i has new intrusion protection features such as port blocking used in
firewalls and protection for files, shares and folders. Open VirusScan
Console. Right click on Access Protection and click Properties
Under Port Blocking, you can specify rules to block a port or group of ports
separately for inbound and outbound network traffic. Check the rule to enable
it. By default, outbound SMTP e-mail traffic on port 25 is blocked

I hope it's usefull for you
