Good that you explained your method of the connection.

And did you verify that you can reach localhost at port 25 with
certainty?

You can verify it by using `telnet':

$ telnet localhost 25

and if there is banner then you have SMTP server forwarded to local
host.

Ports under 1024 can be forwarded only as `root' as they are
considered privileged. 

If you cannot reach the port 25 on localhost try forwarding it to port
1025 and then dispatch to that port.
