Dear list,
I ran out of ideas. My postfix installation on a opensuse 10.0 isn't accepting connections anymore. Out of sudden!! I didn't change anything (last what I did was using the apt upgrades for apache and php the day before but there can't be any relation I guess). While port 25 is dead submission port 587 is working as expected. Log files are still growing since spammers were rejected (mail and mail.info).
Either it's not accepting connections, and thus not rejecting them either, or it is accepting connections and maybe rejecting (because of something you've changed). It can't be both.
I tried everything I could think of (in my panic including a restart of the machine :-x)
- turned firewall in yast on/off - tried with telnet remote and from localhost - googled the lines of the log files
