SuSE misbehaving

22 Aug 2004

      Please understand that I am a Linux novice.

So this afternoon my home experienced a power outage, needless to say my
SuSe system did not shutdown correctly.  Upon re-boot I had to run

reiserfsck --....  (I forget the rest)

in order for things to come back up.  I use this system to host a testing
web server and my personal e-mail.

Now that my system is back up I cannot recieve e-mails??

# telnet localhost 25

Works just fine however I cannot establish a connection to port 25 from
outside my local network??

Please cc jposton@optonline.net if you can offer any insight to this problem.

Thanks,
JP
