Just for the record: what version is in FC6?

So check the postfix logs (/var/log/mail.log or something like that).
Perhaps your network setup is broken.

You don't want to forward tcp/24 from the internet to your lmtp server.
Test to make sure something is talking on tcp/25 by connecting to your
*external* ip address using a tool like telnet or netcat.

You should see a postfix reply.
