Thanks Dominik, that fits with the way it worked best during my
experimentation.
The unix socket is a good idea, I had wondered how to get round that.
It turns out that my issue was a complete newb one - I used tcpdump from
within the guest and found the packets were reaching the OS after all.
I had used the CLI to add rules to iptables on the guest for the mail
server, not realising that it was dumb and was appending the rules AFTER
the default-supplied REJECT rule. After re-writing and reloading the
ruleset, all is now well.
Thanks for the assistance and the tips.

Graham,
With "dedicated vnic" I meant that you don't apply an address for it
within the zone. The zone is aware of it but you should not set it up.
Sorry if my description was a bit misleading...
If you want to use VNC you'll have to setup a second vnic in the zone
config and apply an address for that one or use a unix socket for VNC
which is my preferred option.
Adding the vnics as network resources is perfectly fine.
