Howdy..

Firewalls are designed to prevent un-authorised traffic.. in both directions (normally)

Scoobychat uses TCP port 8396 then 58396, 8080 pop3,smtp,nntp,https to initialise (Damn its determined to get through)

If possible you will need to establish a dedicated relay server. Which IMHO isnt worth the effort
