Hello List, I still have problem with my Postfix installation. I can send/receive mail locally but remote users can not. With "telnet localhost 25" i can write mail, but "telnet 1.2.3.4 25" says "Connection refused". SMTPD_LISTEN_REMOTE = yes. What could be the problem? TIA istvan

netstat -anp Do that as root and see if it actualy IS listening on 25. -- _____________________________________ John Andersen

MAIL_CREATE_CONFIG="yes" SMTPD_LISTEN_REMOTE="yes" # no spaces here. this is bash syntax! and in /etc/sysconfig/postfix POSTFIX_NULLCLIENT="no" though I personaly dislike SuSEconfig, iff you configure it this way, you have to rerun SuSEconfig --module postfix ... if that does not help, check with e.g. netstat -tanp whether it listens on the outer ip or on 0.0.0.0. if it does, check /etc/hosts.{allow,deny} hth Lars
At least in Suse 8.1 there is a bug in SuSeconfig.postfix script which renders POSTFIX_NULLCLIENT="yes" setting below ineffective. The script looks at $NULLCLIENT variable instead of the $POSTFIX_NULLCLIENT. Selcuk Lars Ellenberg wrote:
