It *is* accepting TCP/IP connections. iptables won't help here. You need to check the IMAP/xinetd config files for that.
And our local machines on the LAN are not able to connect to the FTP server outside the network, But it can browse the internet using squid proxy.
Set up routes for 0.0.0.0 properly. Also check whether the default gateway allows you to connect outside ( If it's a Linux box, check whether ip forwarding/ masquerading is enabled etc. etc. )
