*Check the interfaces on which postfix will accept mail, look at -
inet_interfaces = 
*Do postconf -n to see the list of non-default postfix settings, check
against manual and your requirements.
*Run netstat -an to see that port 25 is open and listening
*Telnet  <server> 25 - you should see the connection string from the postfix
server

See where that gets you..
