Dennis - the name of the mail server is variously jicn.com, jicex or  
10.20.1.7

No telnet connection can be established from my desk in the College:

TJH-G4-Powerbook:~ TJH$ telnet jicn.com 143
Trying 10.20.120.2...
telnet: connect to address 10.20.120.2: Operation timed out
Trying 10.20.1.3...
telnet: connect to address 10.20.1.3: Connection refused
Trying 10.20.1.2...
telnet: connect to address 10.20.1.2: Connection refused
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host

TJH-G4-Powerbook:~ TJH$
TJH-G4-Powerbook:~ TJH$ telnet jicex 143
Trying 10.20.1.7...
telnet: connect to address 10.20.1.7: Connection refused
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host

TJH-G4-Powerbook:~ TJH$ telnet 10.20.1.7 143
Trying 10.20.1.7...
telnet: connect to address 10.20.1.7: Connection refused
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host
TJH-G4-Powerbook:~ TJH$

I presume that this is what we expected ?

PING:  this works fine:

ping 10.20.1.7
PING 10.20.1.7 (10.20.1.7): 56 data bytes
64 bytes from 10.20.1.7: icmp_seq=0 ttl=125 time=1.633 ms

--- 10.20.1.7 ping statistics ---
21 packets transmitted, 21 packets received, 0% packet loss

So the server is there, but the access is not.  That is my  
conclusion.  Is that how you see it?
