Im not sure what smtp server you are using, if it's sendmail,
then Marco Shaw's response is what you need :

Something else to check out:
http://www.linuxselfhelp.com/quick/sendmail.html
Check #6, some versions of RedHat come with a
'secured' sendmail that will only listen on 127.0.0.1.
The netstat suggestion will also point that out.

If you are using Postfix you want to edit /etc/postfix/main.cf
In there you want to make sure you have inet_interfaces=all. Usualy
postfix is compiled with this
as the default action, but just in case, put inet_interfaces=all there
and restart postfix.

Yes, netstat -i shows me that port 25 is listening only for local
host.
[root at hydlmuk lib]# netstat -l | grep 25
You have new mail in /var/spool/mail/root
[root at hydlmuk lib]# netstat -l | grep -i smtp
tcp 0 0 localhost.localdom:smtp *:*
LISTEN
[root at hydlmuk lib]#
How can change my smtp server configuration?

do a netstat -l and see if your program is listening to port 25 (smtp)
for all interfaces and areas, or if it is just listening on
localhost.localdomain.
if it only shows listenting to smtp on localhos.localdom and not ont *
or hostname, you need to reconfigure your smtp server to make sure
it's
listening on more than just localhost.
Also, make sure your iptables isn't blocking port 25. The easiest way
to ensure that is to turn it off while testing :
/etc/init.d/iptables stop will do this.
