Firewall works on the node but I cannot allow SMTP traffic through to my VM whether by group or a direct rule.
Strangely ssh works.

Firewall is enabled on the DC, on the node and on the VM & on VM network interface.

EDIT: Solved - the issue was a local firewall on the VM - firewalld, which doesn't give any output to "iptables -L" but still blocks packets!

If in doubt, debug with tcpdump through the stack.
