Postfix Problem

Have hesitated for about two weeks now, before posting this but I
can't get a grip on it so despite the flames I probably deserve, here
goes:

I can't get Postfix to work with SuSE 9.3 as it did with 9.2. I have
two servers up, side by side, one running 9.2 on its IP and one with
9.3, on its own. Two different domains as expected. The one with the
9.2 version works fine, so I used it as a model to set up the server
with the 9.3 system. I cannot receive email on my XP machines through
the 9.3 domain. Pine works fine in the 9.3, receiving and sending,
but no pop3 access. Did the postconf -n comparison between the two
and they almost match, except of course for the $myhostname and
$mydomain. Differences follow:

> content_filter =
10d10
< in_flow_delay = 1s
23,26c23,26
< mydestination = $myhostname,localhost.$mydomain,$mydomain
< mydomain = muderprises.com
< myhostname = wally.muderprises.com
< mynetworks = 192.168.1.0/24, 192.168.2.0/24, iii.jjj.kkk.lll/32,
iii.jjj.kkk.mmm/32, 127.0.0.0/24

Looks to me like Postfix is configured correctly if nothing more than
based on the working system.  The services running are the same but my
XP machine simply says it cannot connect to this server.
Setting up the 9.2 version was maybe too easy because I really didn't
learn anything, just clicked and away it went.  Now that I have a
problem, I don't know where to look.  I have read everything that I
can find on the subject, but am obviously not reading the right stuff,
or it is not soaking in.
Had this mail server working when it was using 9.2, but after a HD
failure I rebuilt using 9.3.
Would someone please enlighten me as to what is so different between
the 9.2 and the 9.3 installations for Postifix?
