You have a program named "master" that has bound the SMTP port (TCP port 25) to
the "localhost" interface. No one is going to be able to connect to that
interface except processes running on the same machine. Sounds like you have
this program configured to bind to the wrong network interface. Normally, you
would bind to 0/ANY, so the program can accept connections on *any* network
interface you have.
