can't receive e-mail

Thanks Jeremy for the help.

I followed your suggestions. 
the netstat -na shows:
tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:25              0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN

Also when I tried telnet to port 25:

220 mail.seeop.net ESMTP Sendmail 8.12.5/8.12.5; Tue, 21 Oct 2003 16:53:24 -0700

What is the difference between ESMTP and regular SMTP?

Thanks,
Dan
