Let me take an educated guess. Your X-Mailer indicates:
X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.51 [en] (X11; I; Linux 2.2.5-15 i586)
It just so happens that the kernel that comes with RedHat 6.0 is 2.2.5-15.
So, if you are running RedHat, the newer versions of portmapper use TCP
Wrappers for security. From portmap (8)
This portmap version is protected by the tcp_wrapper library. You
have to give the clients access to portmap if they should be allowed
to use it.
You will need to alter /etc/hosts.allow (5). Here is an example:
rpc.mountd : 10.10.10.
portmap : 10.10.10.
