Hi, I have a problem with my SuSEfirewall2..despite reading the examples and faq I cant get it to allow incoming and otugoing traffic on port 25
the firewall is run on a machine configured as follows eth0 = external network (internet) eth1 = internal network (192.168.1.1)
the machine runs postfix and postfix can't open port 25.
I've enclosed my firewall script..I'm hoping someone can see what I've done wrong.
Why are you doing this if you don't have a DMZ, just leave it empty. FW_DEV_DMZ="eth0" also leave those FW_SERVICES_DMZ_* empty, I don't know if that really matters, but you don't need them. # Common: "DNS" or "domain ntp", better is "yes" to be sure ... FW_ALLOW_INCOMING_HIGHPORTS_UDP="NO" Replace the NO with domain else domain resolving doesn't work. FW_SERVICE_DNS="no" If you're not runing a nameserver, why do you allow DNS traffic to your box in the FW_SERVICES_* settings? You haven't told which version of SuSE you are running, but I understand from other postings that in 8.0 sendmail is default configured to allow internal traffic only, don't know about the default for Postfix but chances are it's also configured like that. So if you're running 8.0 you probably also have to change the Postfix config to allow external traffic. -- GertJan
