You need to open 22 and 81. If your ipchains generally has a DENY policy
with individual rules that open each port, you need to copy the rules
for, say, port 25 and port 22 and 81 and that should work. These will be
in the input chain, maybe some in the output chain.

I'm trying to figure this out myself at the moment, so that's all I can
tell you.
