Hello, My problem My e-mail server at work crashed (it was not in production fortunately). It was under SuSE 7.2 PRO for PC, reiserfs filesystem. I think it was a HD crash. Thus Hd is reformatting. I settled then Postfix on a Apple G3/SuSE7.3PPC. I transferred the config files and gave the G3 the ancient IP address of the crashed server. Everything should be fine, but: 1) if I want to make a Ftp connexion from another host I have the answer "server 192.168.20.93 unreachable". 2) I have the same problem with an iBook with SuSE7.3PPC: impossible to make a Ftp connexion to the iBook. 3) But a Ftp connexion is well possible from an external host (with SuSE 7.3 for PC not PPC) to the iBook and the G3. Thus PC host SuSE 7.3 ====> G3 or iBook with SuSE 7.3PPC: OK G3 or iBook with SuSE 7.3PPC ====> PC with SuSE 7.3 not OK 4) If I want now to fetch my mail from an outside host I have the answer "server 192.168.20.93 unreachable" too. 5) but the mail server 192.168.20.93 well receive the mails (the mailboxes /var/mail/users are well inflating) but impossible to get the mails: "server unreachable" 6) I can ping the server without problem and, as I said, the server receives the mails without problem. 7) I thought it was a problem of Firewall but SuSE Firewall is not working. 8) problem Smtp daemon? 9) The Postfix config is normally the same as my old config. It seems to be a problem specific to SuSE7.3PPC (but not SuSE 7.2 or 7.3 for PC). Has anybody had the same problem. -- Alain Barthélemy bartydeux@gminformatique.com http://bartydeux.gminformatique.com
