nmap 25/tcp filtered smtp, but cant find process

I can not find anything bound to port 25, but when i run nmap remotely on my server it returns the following:

new-host-4:~ cnolan$ nmap xxxxxx.com

Starting Nmap 5.51 ( http://nmap.org ) at 2011-03-21 21:17 EDT

Nmap scan report for xxxxxx.com (xx.xxx.xxx.xxx)

Host is up (0.021s latency).

rDNS record for xx.xxx.xxx.xxx: li125-xxxmembers.linode.com

Not shown: 998 closed ports

PORT STATE SERVICE

25/tcp filtered smtp

1300/tcp open h323hostcallsc

this is driving me crazy, i need to find it and shut it down

i run the following:

netstat -ltpn

(No info could be read for "-p": geteuid()=500 but you should be root.)

Active Internet connections (only servers)

Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address State PID/Program name

tcp 0 0 :::1300 :::* LISTEN -

thankyou for your help

@man nmap:

Filtered means that a firewall, filter, or other network obstacle is blocking the port so that Nmap cannot tell whether it is open or closed.
A) "Filtered" is not a bad thing.

B) There is a good chance it is your ISP filtering port 25 - try it from somewhere else.
