I think the problem is
he's not getting mail in from the ISP's servers.
Simon, correct me if I'm wrong here.
if you wanted to use your own smtp serup, then yes you'd forward port 25
to the machine running sendmail.
a better idea would be to use your ISP's own mailserver as a smarthost
for the time being unless you have your own domain and you want to use
your own mta.
as for getting the mail in, I would have thought there would have been
no need for any jiggery pokery.
just my 2 bob worth
