ic, ok then, tnx so much for all the help, wish i could return this to u someday....
ill do some more reading and ill try my way around... i dont think my isp would be open to discuss to me this matter, theres gonna some solution for this...
for my last Q , what does "port 25 is blocked" means??
does it mean literally my port 25 in inaccessable or closed.... or does it mean something else? coz im confused with all the testing, like results from
http://zoneedit.com/smtp.html .... and when i telnet my own ppp ip... results are positive..... and do i need some to telnet my ip add just to check?
and probing my ports according to
http://scan.sygate.com/probe.html results are
Operating System = Linux i686
Browser = Galeon 1.3.3

so im confused
.. if it is really blocked "literally".... or just cant use it for my mail server...
.... BTW, doin "cat /etc/postfix/main.cf | grep relay_domains" results are...
host for. Specify those names via the relay_domains settings for
# The relay_domains parameter restricts what destinations this system will
# - from "untrusted" clients to destinations that match $relay_domains or
# The default relay_domains value is $mydestination.
# These destinations do not need to be listed in $relay_domains.
#relay_domains = $mydestination
# with all addresses in the domains that match $relay_domains.
# specified in the relay_domains parameter). For other destinations,
#fast_flush_domains = $relay_domains
"cat /etc/postfix/main.cf | grep mydestination"
gives me
# The mydestination parameter specifies the list of domains that this
#mydestination = $myhostname, localhost.$mydomain $mydomain
#mydestination = $myhostname, localhost.$mydomain, $mydomain,
# to $mydestination and $inet_interfaces.
# - You define $mydestination domain recipients in files other than
# For example, you define $mydestination domain recipients in
# response code when a recipient domain matches $mydestination or
# The default relay_domains value is $mydestination.
# - destinations that match $mydestination
#relay_domains = $mydestination
# for unknown recipients. By default, mail for unknown@$mydestination
mydestination = $myhostname, localhost.$mydomain
like ive said, my main.cf is untouched, so default values are used instead...
tnx so much.........
You might be able to do it with your main.cf actually too, but again, I've never had to. Check out the forums a bit, and run a search on google.com/linux for info on mapping ports. In the end though, I don't know how well that will work, and blocking a port outgoing just doesn't make sense, it was just an idea. 
...????? (based on the main.cf ive posted)
