Run another service on 25 temporarily, to see if you are connecting OK.  

Stop postfix.  Change the port number for 'echo' in /etc/services from 7 
to 25, and comment out the 'smtp' entries to avoid a clash.  Send a SIGHUP 
to inetd, then telnet to port 25.  What you type should be echoed back to 
you.  Use the telnet escape sequence to get out.  Return /etc/services to 
normal and SIGHUP inetd again.

If 'echo' works on port 25, then postfix is the obvious place to look for 
your problems.
