Hi Marc, thanks for the reply...

I think I didn't explain it well before. If I connect to POP or SMTP, then yes it works (there's no mail in there, yet..), but it does work. The issue is me sending an email TO the test server, not in trying to connect to it.
So, when I send the message, I can see in my XServe postfix log (not Zimbra) that it timed out trying to communicate.

I thought the two servers would talk to each other (i.e XServe try and deliver mail to G4) over port 25..? Whilst I can manually telnet into Zimbra on port 25 (and POP + IMAP), it seems the the XServe can't establish a connection to deliver the message to the G4.

Yes, I connect, and it doesn't time out. Yup, the firewall on the G4 is off, so it's only the mapping of the ports on my home router, which is setup to route #25, POP + IMAP to the G4. This works (manually) via Telnet, so I presume the mapping is fine.

So, server to server (Xserve -> G4), it only uses Port #25 to deliver message from one server to another..?

Cheers for your help, and I hope this makes matters a bit clearer!

Regards,
Steve
