Thanks for the help. I should report back on what the final conclusion was :).

I finally got some help from a colleague who is a security expert, and then 
a day later found the guy who configured the server in the first place.

What was happening was that he had set up IP forwarding through a firewall, 
so even though a pinging produced the same IP address, they were on 
separate machines behind the firewall. You could telnet in, but telnet was 
being redirected to the mail-server, which was a different machine from the 
web server, which was news to me :).

Thanks to all who tried to help in this great forum!

Cheers
