can't telnet out port 25

[Charlie Farinella]

Hi all, 

We have a dedicated server at GoDaddy running CentOS 4.5 and I'm trying 
to set up a mail server (Postfix).  

- I can telnet to port 25 on the server, and can send mail in.

- I can neither send mail out, or telnet out to another server on port 
25.

My first assumption was that they (GoDaddy) are blocking outward traffic 
on port 25, so I called them, but they say they are not.  

I am not all that familiar with iptables, but this is what appears in my 
rules list:

ACCEPT     tcp  --  anywhere             anywhere            state NEW 
tcp dpt:smtp

I'm at a loss if GoDaddy is not blocking outbound on this port, what am 
I missing?

thanks,

--charlie
