Hello

I don't know how the following relates to the pinging argument but:

Did you add the ip adress of the e-mail server in the hosts file of your NT
machine?
you can find it here: c:\winnt\system32\drivers\etc\hosts

Otherwise the dns of your company is thinking that you are using the e-mail
server for relaying illegally,
and this is forbidden by your computer police department.
