Like McTim says, proper punctuation will help.

Lots of exclamation marks and ** will not make more of a point, all they achieve is get the message flagged as potential spam.

It is good manners since you are asking for help to make an effort to write and send decent mail.

That said, can you telnet port 25 from the outside and see if you get a connection?

#telnet 'public IP on router' 25

If yes, then look at the logs on your server - you did not tell us what you are running.

If no, then ..
On the server # telnet localhost 25 - just so we are sure. If that opens, then take a closer look at the router conf to make sure you are actually port forwarding 25.
