You'd be more likely to get information if you let us know what MTA
you're using, what variety of Linux you're using, etc.

Also, I think you will find that your logs can be very useful in terms
of figuring out what the problem is....

And, of course, you should make sure that your MTA is listening on the
external interfaces.....

Just making a guess, but if you're running Dead rat linux with Sendmail
as the MTA, you'll probably need to reconfigure Sendmail to listen on
the main interface - IIRC, by default it only listens on the loopback
interface.
