My bad, I should have mentioned, with Ubuntu, you also have to install 
Postfix (Ubuntu being just about the only Linux distro that doesn't 
install a local mail server by default) :)

It's probably a good idea for you have a firewall configured as well if 
you're not already behind one.  Since you are using postfix for local 
delivery only, there is no reason for anyone from the Internet to 
connect to your port 25.
