My guess is that SW is letting the coneection through, that is easy to 
tell, have a look in the log and see if there is an entry.

If no entry, then SW is allowing the connection through, but the smtp 
server on port 25 is rejecting the connection (This is what I think is 
happening)
I think you can look is /var/log/maillog for info on this (maybe).
