Can neither send nor recieve email...

Help! (Home for newbies)

Hello,
I am having an issue with being able to both send and receive email. I attempted to send a test via my hotmail and got:

Remote server returned not permitted to relay -> 550 5.7.1 webmaster@domain.tld: Relay access denied

I then attempted to send an email which it pretends it did but looking at Postfix Mail Server it shows Connection timed out. I have tried googling and searching these forums but I am not on a dynamic IP and I am not running Virtualmin off of a home server (which is probably for the better as I’d be tempted to throw it) , any ideas or suggestions? My highest gratitude to all those who reply with help!

UPDATE:
I contacted the company I am renting my VDS from and they swore up and down that there were no restrictions imposed on my account which is what lead me to post here because a block on smtp is all I could think of for not being able to neither send nor receive. I later contacted them again and they admitted the first guy was wrong, there was indeed a block and lifted it.

Are you still having issues now that they’ve opened up the port for you?

As always you have my highest gratitude for your unmitigated awesomeness! I actually posted here because I was pounding my head against the wall not knowing what it was after being told the port was open and trying everything I could find online / think of. It turns out they were wrong (and/or lied) so after opening the port it worked as it should right out the box. Much appreciation for the assistance though. :smiley:
