Port 80 is going through fine though, not being blocked at all. I've heard 25 is a common port for ISP's to block which could be the case but why wouldnt i be able to connect to sendmail from my local windows computer.
Thanks for your reply

Simple, your ISP is blocking 25 & 80 to protect a$$#### running toy OSs from
things like redworm, etc... And intelligent people, as always, get screwed in
the process.

Not such a good idea, that type of control can be spoofed. Better to use a VPN
or authenticated SMTP.
