Is your service with Verizon -- DSL or FIOS ??
Are you using a router that sets up your local addresses as NAT addresses
behind the router they supplied? If you are on FIOS & using a static IP
address, then your system may not be configured properly, as you need to get
around the hardware firewall that is built into the router. This is not an
issue where DHCP is used. I got around this problem by setting up my mail
account on my home equipment to use the verizon.net smtp server and only
using exim for my local net mail. Try seting your "sending" smtp
to 'outgoing.verizon.net' & your recieving to 'incoming.verizon.net'
Good luck!!
