just can't get (ssh, http, smtp...) to the box from Show Low (its where 
my parents live), I tried in the public library and some other random 
locations ( its blocked over the hole damed city). The box is setup to 
not answer ping and ssh is off now, but you can check smtp and http on 
63.227.89.82  to see if the connection is good, and trace rout should  
work up to the dsl router (63.227.89.94) I think.

I'm looking at the Google Apps stuff and may just point my MX at them, 
it cost nothing and would get the mess out of my hands, I don't think I 
have the time to play with postfix and this Linux setup is years old 
now. Its just a question of trusting Google. I'm still working out what 
I have to hide >_>, <_<, O_o.

I spent a lot of time trying to understand where things are blocked, I 
think its some sort of blacklisting, but am not sure, I assume it's 
growing. I think tfug.org is now on the other side of the part of the 
internet that is not able to get at the addresses (63.227.89.80/28) I 
got from qwest, on the other hand who knows want is going on.

tfug.org can send to my gmail account, and oddly enough my old postfix 
(embedded.epccs.com) can still send to tfug so I'll just do that for now.
