What is this IronPort Spam Firewall?
All incoming mail is processed by an IronPort spam firewall. It is configured to drop incoming mail that it determines is spam. If you would prefer, instead, that it tag and deliver your spam, please email a request to admin. [mail] I can’t get my mail. See SSL-Howto. [mailrelay] I can’t send my mail. Many ISPs (Earthlink, for one), companies, and some hotels block access to external SMTP server from their networks. This will make it impossible for you to use mail.employees.org as your outbound mail server. You can test connectivity by doing: telnet mail.employees.org 25 from your operating system’s command line (OS X, use “Terminal”; Windows, use “Start, Run, cmd.exe”).
