I'm lost :-? Didn't you say this? *** It should listen like this (or all hell breaks loose on their server farm): tcp 0 0 10.20.30.40:25 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN *** So if that remains true, you do need to open port 25 "locally" and bind Postfix to listen in that IP. But opening a port "locally" does not mean your SMTP server can be used from remote, in fact it cannot unless: a) The router (frame relay, xdsl line...) of your ISP/hosting provider is actually forwarding the requests to port 25 to your machine (by using NAT or iptables). b) You allow Postfix to do that.
