Postfix only listens on port 25 (as does every mail server).  Port 143
is for the imap server.

Show us the log files.  If mail comes in ok, and mail goes out ok then
I'm not sure what problem you have. [Where's it being queued?]

Show the output of postconf -n (non default configuration items) and
tell us which version of Postfix you are using.
