Database Mail

All,
I'm trying to test sending mail using SQL Server 2005. I have configured
database mail but I'm getting the following error:
The mail could not be sent to the recipients because of the mail server
failure. (Sending Mail using Account 10 (2007-02-13T12:38:53). Exception
Message: Could not connect to mail server. (An established connection was
aborted by the software in your host machine).
Has anyone ran into this. I have been able to setup the same thing on my
local machine and it works fine. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
JamalHi,
try sending a mail using the information entered in the GUI using the
telnet command. there should be a more specific error than the actual
posted.

=> Access Protection => Prevent mass mailing worms from sending mail
Ports 25
Added these to the exception list
