Re: external webmail

No by default as far as surgemail is concerned in terms of
basic 
connectivity there is no difference between internal and
external network 
connections. Most importantly check that surgemail is
listening on the 
network interface it should be for external network
connections (generally 
this would be the same as for the internal network) and
check that you do 
not have any server level firewall software (like windows
firewall) blocking 
the ports in question.

Basic connectivity can be checked as described:

If all else fails try setting the surgemail service on an
alternative port 
and see if that does work. Even port intercepting virus
scanners etc can 
play havoc with normal tcp communication on occasion.
