Cannot telnet to 25 but can do it to 22


Hi,
I just setup a server using Ubuntu 10.04LTS Desktop edition. I am a novice in these things. I was able to setup the SSH server and it works from outside my LAN quite well. I can telnet to it also with 22. I have then setup an email server. I can do telnet to it from the server itself but from the internet it just times out.
I did netstat -nlp and it shows that it is listening to port 25. I have port forwarding for 25 enabled on the router.
I cleaned up all the rules of iptables and iptables -L shows everything is accepted.
What else should I check or do?

Any help or guidance would be appreciated. Thanks!

Welcome to LQ

Make sure your ISP doesn't block port 25, eq are you allowed to run a mailserver?


Kind regards

Hi repo,
Thanks for your reply. I talked to my ISP and they informed me that port 25 is not blocked. What else can I check?
