so, at face value, nothing is listening on port 25
0.o is that a real log?
The error message pertains to the host, not the port.
that's what busybox's telnet says. Python says socket.error: [Errno 113] No route to host so it looks like the idiotic message "no route to host" means : can't connect to x.x.x.x:port -- so the error message pertains to the host:port combination and it's badly worded.
I'm having experiences like that, too.
