	This is a firewall problem.  You need to configure the firewall 
on the new machine to allow incoming SMTP connections on port 25. 
However, that is a subject that is completely outside the scope of 
this mailing list.

	When it comes to operating-system specific issues like firewall 
configurations, there's not much we can do to help you.  You need to 
use the mailing lists, newsgroups, and other support services that 
are specific to those OSes.
