I am trying to run my own squirrelmail email server. This involves the use of apache2, postfix, and squirrelmail.
When I first boot up the server everything will work fine, but after about 1 - 2 hours ports 80 (apache) and 25 (smtp) will be closed to any one outside the network. However, it will still work if I view the website using the servers local ip.
My network only has one router and a Layer 2 switch. The network is not segmented.
Gateway: 10.0.0.1
subnetmask: 255.0.0.0
servers ip: 10.0.25.0
Below are diagnostics from the apache server when it went down for the public ip.

After the 1 - 2 hours it wont receive any packets from outside the network. So below is a tcpdump of right after its booted up so that you can see it works fine for a while.

This is a tcpdump from when it wasn't working. This is a dump of every port. Notice it only contains ssh packets and nothing to do with apache or postfix.
