connection failed port 25

I have two w2k3 SP1 server setup with smtp for relay. Both servers are
pretty much a mirror of each other. Locally, I can telnet from one server
but not the other. When I tried to telnet locally from the servers with its
own local IP to port 25, I get connection failed to port 25. There is no
differences between the two servers except their IP.There must be a differnece between them, did you try to portscan these
servers to see wheter the port is activated and listens. What dies
Netstat -a say ? Once we had an issue about port 25, becasue a virus scanner
was installed which blocked the port 25 to forbid open relays, perhaps this
could be a point.
