Be default many OS installs setup iptables to block pretty much every
port. Check your /etc/sysconfig/iptables file. On Fedora I had to add
an entry for smtp, http, dns, etc... of a form similar to:

    -A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -p tcp -m tcp --dport 25 -j ACCEPT


For udp protocols like DNS, be sure to add a udp rule also.
