"Connection timed out" problem

From: Carlos Canchaya (ccanchayagmail.com)

Hi guys,

I have my redhat server sending email with no problems (inside and outside
my network), however I have problems receiving email. But this problem
happens only when the emails come from servers out of my network. The
message I got from the sending servers is

connect to carlos.hassle.com[xxx.yyy.zzz.aaa]: Connection timed out (port
25)

First I thought it was iptables or tcpwrappers, so I shut them off, and I
still cannnot receive any email from the "outside". My network doesn't have
the policy to block any port, so I don't really know where the problem can
come from. Is it an option in postfix to limit the connections from outside
my network? If the connections are rejected, are the rejections logged?

Thanks in advance,

Carlos
