[wellylug] Xtra and Email

[Mark Foster]

Someones been under a rock ;-)

The only filtering that should be happening is that Port 25/TCP to hosts 
other than Xtra's specified SMTP servers is blocked for Xtra customers.

If you're using a port other than 25, you shouldn't be hindered. Try 
telnet on the specified port and see if you get a banner up?
