Sendmail question

["Alan Johnson" <ajohnson@computertech.ws>]

Greetings,
 
I am having some trouble with sendmail, although it is not sendmail
specifically.  Sendmail is working fine, but I cannot connect to it on
port 25.  When I telnet to it on port 25, I get no response.  This
machine is running RH 7.2.  I think it could be a firewall issue, but I
have tried to enable port 25 via ipchains, but still no joy.

Telneting to my ISP server gives this, 
 
220-avocet.prod.itd.earthlink.net ESMTP Exim 3.33 #1 Sun, 17 Feb 2002
16:04:41 -0800
220-NO UCE.  EarthLink does not authorize the use of its computers or
network
220 equipment to deliver, accept, transmit, or distribute unsolicited
e-mail.
 
Where mine returns nothing, drops back out to command prompt.  
 
Any help is appreciated.
