Ack, partially user error. I never set up a software firewall rule for my
email server... Now that that`s done, port 940 and port 110 are open on my
domain. Port 119 was just weird. I removed and re-added the rule and then
it suddenly started working. Everything is groovy now. Thanks for all of
the suggestions!
