Does your connection to the server go through any other internet provider's
equipment before it reaches bellsouth.net? If so, connections to port 25
are often blocked to cause trouble for spammers.
If not, try checking your email account under Windows Mail against
the bellsouth.net instructions for setting it up:
<http://help.bellsouth.net/bellsouth/asp/browse_subfolder.asp?sprt_fid=0a41840c-0baf-4379-9f63-f578f49fee77>

Note that bellsouth.net is merging with AT&T, so some of their web
pages are labelled as being for AT&T customers instead.
