Generally, the error messages given by GUI mail client are not specific
enough to troubleshoot these problems. Use telnet from a machine outside the
firewll and post the exact error message given:
telnet servername 110

You can't route traffic to any 192.168.*.* subnet. I don't kow if that's
why netstat didn't show the port open, but even if it did, machines from the
external network would not be able to reach it. All the routers in between
(if correctly configured) would not forward packets addressed to any such
subnet.
