All
where should i look to see if i have a back log of incoming emails waitng to be delivered locally?
its either that or im having trouble with my MX record ;0(
ive edited the mx record to point at my IP and forwarded port 25 from my firewall to me SME box, i can send and recieve locally and can send outbound mails.
could it be anything else apart from the MX record?

kind regards

I had the same problem ... I fixed it by setting the firewall to forward traffic intended to port 25 to the SME server .... It seems like you did that!!

If you can send email out from your SME server then your isp is not blocking port 25. Is it possible that your ISP is blocking ougoing SMTP traffic (traffic from their CMTS/Router to the subscriber/you)?
