Okay, next step. Try telnetting to the smtp port at the mail server:

$ telnet <mailserver> 25

You should now get a line back starting with "220 <mailserver>".
If you don't, the smtp server is down.
If you do, try to send a mail to yourself (in the same telnet 
session):

helo localhost

(message back: "250 <mailserver> ...")

mail from: <your_address>

(message back: "250 ... <your_address>... Sender ok")

rcpt to: <your_address>

(message back: "250 ... <your_address>... Recipient ok")

data

(message back: "354 Enter mail, end with "." on a line by itself")

<type some text>
.

(message back: "250 ... Message accepted for delivery")

Let me know what the result was.

(Type Ctrl + ] to abort the connection and "quit" to exit telnet.)
