Try checking to see if postfix is configured to only listen on the loop-back interface (localhost 127.0.0.1). You should check the inet_interfaces value in main.cf. If it says inet_interfaces = localhost then that is probably your problem. Change it to inet_interfaces = all (or just comment out the line since the default is all) and do a postfix reload. Then try the port scan again.
