I'm able to recieve emails but I'm unable to send any. Could it be that the firewall is up or that my connection is through a route?
 
are you sure you have the right port specified and everything in mail? i have a firewall up and a firewall up on my router and i have no problem sending out emails at all

Doesn't it automatically update the port?

The one that comes with Panther. Trying to get my Mac mail to work.
 
Thanks for your help. I check on .Mac and it said some ISP's block port 25, so I had to change it.

are you on a POP3 service? if so check your outgoing SMTP setting, its usually something like outgoing.yourprovider.com but it varies by provider.
