Cannot send or recieve

[ks...@cogeco.ca]

I've been trying to get this working for almost a week with no luck.  I can send and recieve on local host only.  I am
unable to send or receive when using either IP or Domain name.

I am using: windows98se, apache 1.3.29, james 2.1.3

I have checked MX records with dnsreport.com and am told it cannot connect to the server, though it indicates everything
else seems to be fine.

domain is rosecity.ca

the <dnsserver> block includes the dns of my provider and the dns I use for my domain. My domain works perfectly with
regards to http.

I can connect to James via telnet using localhost and using the IP but not the domain name (This makes me wonder if the
problem lies with something other than James)

I have altered the .conf files repeatedly based on various suggestions from this list and other sources, all to no
avail.  I may be missing something incredibly simple...or not, hopefully someone here can help me sort it out.

Any help on this matter will be greatly appreciated I would very much like to get James operating.

 #  nmap -O rosecity.ca

 Starting nmap V. 3.00 ( www.insecure.org/nmap/ )
 Interesting ports on d57-240-71.home.cgocable.net (24.57.240.71):

 Remote operating system guess: Windows NT4 or 95/98/98SE

If you are running James now, you might check your local firewall rules,
since port 25 is not available.  Perhaps your ISP is blocking it, which is
increasingly common when dealing with Windows systems, but since you said
that you can't access it from your own system when using the domain name, it
is more likely that your firewall is the problem.  Speaking of which you
REALLY want to close port 3306!  You are running MySQL 4.0.17, and leaving
it exposed to the outside world.

Finally, if you have a static IP address, you should let SORBS know.  If you
have a dynamic IP address, you'll need to use the <gateway> tag in
RemoteDelivery, as you are listed as being in a DHCP pool:
http://openrbl.org/ip/24/57/240/71.htm, which means that many servers will
block you.
