Right. Or if you have Colfusion installed, it activates its own SMTP server when it feels it needs to only. -- Could also explain random nature of problem.

Do you have Microsoft's SMTP service running? No</P>
You should double-check that. If it *is* running (Windows 2000 installs one by default), it could easily explain the problems you are having.

This machine is not behind firewall .</P>
Some people are able to connect to it, some can't. I can't connect to port 25 no matter how hard I try, but I can always get to port 110. That would suggest that there is either a firewall/router playing games with port 25 access, or something wrong on the IMail server. But, if there was a problem on the IMail server, either everyone would be able to connect or nobody would.
Here's another problem: When I do a tracert, link-gw.customer.alter.net reports "Destination net unreachable". It looks like you need to talk to them. A ping 213.131.67.41 isn't even working.
