Mike,

    I did that too.. because I also need the port 587 opened up due to 
knology blocking port 25.  I'm "pretty sure" I uncommented the part 
about listening on 25, but will have to double check.  I automatically 
assumed it was some type of other function blocking (refusing connects)

Thanks...
