You cant really use portmapper behind a firewall. You have to specify a TCP 
port. Basically, this is what happens:

Using Portmapper:
- AR Client connects to UDP port 111 and asks what TCP port is arserver running 
on?
- portmapper replies "on this instance, its on XXX"
- AR Client says "thanks" and connects using TCP to that port.

This port can change everytime the arserver restarts. So the firewall will 
never know or can not guess.

What you need to do is forget about UDP 111. Select a TCP port that is not 
used, open the Admin tool >> server information >> connection ports and 
settings and put a TCP port in there. The AR server will need to be restarted.

Tell the firewall/network people the new TCP port number, TCP 80 for midtier.
Depending on the mail setup you have, and on what OS. But TCP 25 is the norm.
