From a Mac that's not working type:

	telnet dmz.linkzone.com 25

If you get some type of a prompt back, you probably have the right
server and port specified. After that, the authentication scheme gets
more complicated. Most SMTP servers still have no "authentication" per
se (unlike POP servers). Have you tried turning OFF authentication for
SMTP in your Mail client completely?

The other thing to do is to simply look at the SMTP settings (not POP)
in the mail client on the Winblows box. Whatever it uses you should also
use for the Mac. The server shouldn't care whether you're coming from a
Mac or a PC.
