Mark,
IMP works fine through a firewall, but you are also getting the smoothie to redirect ports. IMP will be sending the URL for the next page as
http://x.x.x.x/whatever (ie. without the :2000). You could either go in and try to hack horde/imp, you could use a web redirection service (eg zonedit where you could say
www.yourdomain.com => yourdomain.com:2000) or you could leave the smoothie alone and do the redirection on the SME box (fairly recent discussion on this over on the experienced forum).
BTW, I am assuming that you really meant https and port 81, which most ISP don't seem to block.
