No, I don't want to relay through this box, I just want to receive mail
on this box (for a local user) - I am just trying what my NT Admin tells
me to do.  When it comes to mail, I am out of my depth - still trying to
understand the whole thing.

I know that port 25 is open, and that I can connect to it, but something
is blocking me on the Linux server (rejecting the e-mail)
