Once again, this is before my time, and I've never once worked on the authentication servers, but afaik, this was a fundamental choice to mimick the way e-mail works. You can't just send an email to "joe", it has to be "joe" at "example.com", where example.com is a computer that knows a certain joe among many. It works because there is an entry in the DNS server that says the mail server that's authoritative for example.com, and mail clients do a DNS query to find the IP. A number of people here have set up reX for the public (such as world.evocativi.com), so it *is* possible -- but you may need DNS and/or public IPs...
So basically, I think this an internal network configuration issue, and kinda beyond what we're capable of helping you with. Network configuration is not easy, and present a barrier to adoption of VW servers (actually any non-trivial home server). Does "[email protected]" work from outside the network? If anyone knows better than me, feel free to correct me. Better a half-assed answer than none.
