When I did a tracert on mail.gamiing.org, the connection
got lost after reaching a machine with the rather unusual
name:

toroonnzydroo.bb.telus.com.6.11.154.in-addr.arpa

I suspect that that machine has a DNS problem, which could
affect it's ability to pass on any messages that reach it.

Yes, correction, your previous error message had the port as 1025.
For a non-ISP server, port 25 is likely, but not SSL.

Since gamiing.org is not your ISP, your home ISP will block
your use of any port 25 SMTP server other than their own.
For an explanation of this policy, see
http://www.postcastserver.com/help/P..._Blocking.aspx

To send from home, you will have to substitute your home ISP's
SMTP server. If you need help with that, let us know who your
home ISP is.
