Hello

It's possible the remote mail servers have blocked traffic from your IP address. Check with telnet to see if that's the case. EX:

telnet remote-mail-server.com 25

Replace "remote-mail-server.com" with the hostname of the remote mail server you are attempting to send to.

Thank you.

when i tried hotmail it timed out but when i tried my other server it returned a reply, this means my box has no problem?

It indicates that Hotmail is blocking email connections from your server. You may want to review their mail troubleshooting document:
