one thing that I learned was to make sure when you start opening ports (IE
you have DENY ALL as default) that you start with the lowest port number..
 I for the life of me could not get SMTP working, so I moved it from the
bottom of my IPFW rules to the top, and walla it worked.  If you would
like I can post my IPFW rules.  They are extemly simple for my SSH, POP3,
SMTP, NTP, IMAP, BIND8 setup...
