I can telnet localhost 25 can connect to postfix, however I cannot connect from any other computer on the network or even do telnet hostname 25 on the postfix machine itsself I do have port 25 open in the firewall. Postfix is running. (mailserver and service:postfix) $ telnet hostname 25 Trying 192.168.2.3... telnet: connect to address 192.168.2.3: Connection refused $ telnet localhost 25 Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to localhost. Escape character is '^]'. 220 host.name ESMTP Postfix # nmap /usr/bin/nmap localhost Starting Nmap 4.60 ( http://nmap.org ) at 2008-12-27 00:03 EST Warning: Hostname localhost resolves to 3 IPs. Using 127.0.0.1. Interesting ports on localhost (127.0.0.1): Not shown: 1704 closed ports PORT STATE SERVICE 21/tcp open ftp 22/tcp open ssh 25/tcp open smtp Keep in mind this is all via internal network, so port forwarding shouldn't be an issue. Nor should it be isp blocking port 25. I'll deal with that once I get postfix set up if need be. -- Michael S.
