[lug] SMTP delivery: No route to host

Yes that is what I am running and that's the name of my box. Every other
service works perfectly fine from my home network to my server, that is why I
don't think adding a new route table would do anything. The server (oldschool)
is on a DSL line behind a cisco 678 router. Also, I have setup my local mail
client to use other smtp servers completely different from my own, and they
also return the "no route to host" error. Port 25 is being screwed somewhere
along the line and it has nothing to do with the server I'm pretty sure. I'm
going to try and put the modem in my client box later and see if I can rule
out the firewall as a problem.
