What I was thinking was that the NT machine may have had a static route to your subnet, but the Mac couldn't do the reverse on it's router. A telnet to the NT machine on port 25 from the Mac would show this.

I tried telnetting to 193.140.143.5 (mimoza.marun.edu.tr) port 25 and received the correct response.

The traceroute from the Mac will show if there are any problems here
