Are you on a residential circuit? From my probing, it looks like you
are on qwest dsl. I don't believe that qwest DSL allows incoming
25/tcp.

Example:

[root@box tools]# telnet 207.108.140.106 25
Trying 207.108.140.106...
telnet: connect to address 207.108.140.106: No route to host
[root@box tools]#
