I'm now using SpamAssassin to filter incoming mail to my home e-mail
account, but that's presumably not the type of filtering to which you're
referring. :-)

"Not successful" meaning what?
Ethereal returns a syntax error when you try to capture packets using
the filter? If so, try using the filter
tcp port 25
or possibly
tcp port smtp
to capture all traffic to or from port 25.
Or Ethereal doesn't return a syntax error, as you *did* use that filter,
but it's not seeing any SMTP traffic, other than perhaps SMTP traffic to
or from the machine running Ethereal? If so, note:
