Well, I don't know much about network management in our company.
Administrator tells me that they have two proxy server.

a) Default server, as you said, block 25 port to internet.
b) Our free proxy server can do this. I used to use foxmail, which has a
proxy setting in client ap. and it works. So I'm sure that our free
proxy is NOT blocking 25 port. 


So what I wanna do is just forward those communications by our free
proxy server, which I usually set proxy setting in foxmail.


Currently, I can visit web pages by our free proxy server, when I set
Gnome network settings.

But it doesn't work for mail client. :(
