Okay I have SMTPD_LISTEN_REMOTE="yes" in the /etc/sysconfig/mail and I edited the main.cf to include the inet_interfaces = all I reloaded and restarted postfix and still nothing. One thing I noticed is that SuSE has the following *.cf files. main.cf main.cf.SuSEconfig main.cf.default Any more ideas?? Thanks, Eric Markus Gaugusch wrote:

I just installed SuSE 9.0 with Postfix and am trying to test connectivity by telneting to port 25 and get a connection refused.

Look at /etc/sysconfig/mail -> SMTPD_LISTEN_REMOTE

I fixed it! I found in the main.cf file that there are two places with the inet_interfaces = specification. I don't know if yast2 put them there when I ran it for mail, or if this is standard. I sure hope not since this could be very confusing!!! Eric Boris B. Zhmurov wrote:

In /etc/postfix/main.cf: inet_interfaces = all

and then: /usr/sbin/postfix reload

Yep, yast doesn't edit original parameter's, it add another one in the end of main.cf. Any way, you can check postfix's configuration by typing command:

however if you read /etc/sysconfig/postfix and add your customization like POSTFIX_ADD_RELAY_RECIPIENT_MAPS="hash:/etc/postfix/relay_recipient_maps" POSTFIX_ADD_RECIPIENT_DELIMITER="-" POSTFIX_ADD_SHOW_USER_UNKNOWN_TABLE_NAME="no" You can run SuSEConfig --module postfix and everything will be as you want and you would still be using the SuSEconfig without worrying what will happen when SuSEConfig runs and destroys my changes :-) -- Togan Muftuoglu | Unofficial SuSE FAQ Maintainer | Please reply to the list; http://susefaq.sf.net | Please don't put me in TO/CC.
