Okay, first do you have any firewalls setup? Did you choose any type of security settings upon install? Also, are there any DNS entries out there for you? For instance, if you ping you server by name.yourdomain.com can it be seen outside your LAN? Where is your name record registered? Is there a DNS record for you on the nameservers you specified for your record? You can have mail setup and running but if no one can find you and you can't find anyone via DNS then little will happen. Start are your /etc/hosts file and make sure you have an entry for your server and it's static IP (this is in addtion to 127.0.0.1 localhost).
