Answer : exchange 2010 - edge transport server, emails are stuck in a local loop

I'm genuinely not sure how your Edge has ever worked before but at least now I think we're making good progress.

Ports you require open are as follows:

External 25/TCP (SMTP)

Internal 25/TCP (SMTP)

Internal 50389/TCP (LDAP)

Internal 50636/TCP (LDAP)

Internal 3389/TCP (RDP)

3389 isn't really necessary but I personally like it open to be able to RDP into a server for remote support.

Internal, in this case relates to the firewall between your Edge servers and LAN (Assuming your Edge is in a DMZ).

Might I suggest that you look at that link I sent and just confirm that you've gone through the steps for everything?
