De acordo com os documentos do nmap:
filtered
Nmap cannot determine whether the port is open because packet filtering prevents
its probes from reaching the port. The filtering could be from a dedicated
firewall device, router rules, or host-based firewall software. These ports
frustrate attackers because they provide so little information. Sometimes they
respond with ICMP error messages such as type 3 code 13 (destination unreachable:
communication administratively prohibited), but filters that simply drop probes
without responding are far more common. This forces Nmap to retry several times
just in case the probe was dropped due to network congestion rather than
filtering. This slows down the scan dramatically.
Então parece que sua porta está simplesmente bloqueada por um firewall em algum lugar. Talvez o seu provedor local? Porque quando tento me conectar a ele, obtenho uma conexão:
$ telnet whys.fr 25
Trying 5.196.66.189...
Connected to whys.fr.
Escape character is '^]'.
220 whys.fr ESMTP Postfix (Debian/GNU)
Infelizmente, não é incomum que o ISP bloqueie a conexão direta com a porta 25 fora de sua própria rede, para evitar que bots em máquinas clientes enviem spam diretamente.
