[mdlug] Email configuration problem

[Jesse J. Salens]

If they use an outside mail service, such as a hosting provider, AT&T 
blocks port 25 by default. You can request to be unblocked through their 
abuse reporting page:

http://helpme.att.net/servabuse.php

Just select "**Opt out port 25" from the Abuse type.
