[ale] Postfix problems - ripping my hair out

Hi all, I'm having trouble setting up postfix on my server. I've had it
running before, successfully, but forgot to back up the conf file I used
when I did it. I decided to try and get it running again finally, so i
could check out squirrelmail and play with some things.
However, despite my best attempts the past several days, I have been
utterly unable to receive email from the outside world. Postfix is
running, and so is imapd and popd, and I can send myself mail from user
to user on the machine. I can also send mail to the outside world with
either the mail command or squirrelmail. However, any mail sent to the
server from outside fails to arrive. I dont get immediate bounce backs,
either, it takes many hours before I get bounces back.
The ports are forwarded on the router, and they're open on the machine,
and I can telnet into all of them except for 25. Is this my ISP
blocking port 25 for incoming instead of just outgoing?
I have tried to diagnose this every way I can think of, read of, or
guess and I'm stumped. I've put my main.cf file on the web server at
www.jayloden.com/main.cf if that helps any, and I also posted the output
of netstat -punta and an nmap scan on localhost, at
www.jayloden.com/diag.txt
If anyone has any help, or maybe just a main.cf I can look at, that
would be great. Note: I only have one server, and one domain,
jayloden.com, all at the same IP address, etc. No virtual hosts or
anything like that set up.
