I am trying to set to to receive my own mail locally. I have SuSE 8.1 with SuSEfirewall2 and a netgear router. My router is 192.168.0.1 and my box is 192.168.0.2. I have opened port 25 to 192.168.0.2 in the router. My firewall says: iptables -L | grep smtp::: ACCEPT tcp -- anywhere anywhere state NEW,RELATED,ESTABLISHED tcp dpt:smtp ACCEPT tcp -- anywhere anywhere state NEW,RELATED,ESTABLISHED tcp dpt:smtp also, duplicate entries for LOG nmap shows: Starting nmap V. 3.00 ( www.insecure.org/nmap/ ) Interesting ports on dhcp024-208-208-146.indy.rr.com (24.208.208.146): Port State Service 25/tcp filtered smtp Nmap run completed -- 1 IP address (1 host up) scanned in 2 seconds I can _stop_ the firewall and nmap gives the same result. Shouldn't port 25 show open instead of filtered? What am I doing wrong and why do I have duplicate firewall rule entries? -- Patrick Shanahan Registered Linux User #207535 http://wahoo.no-ip.org @ http://counter.li.org icq#173753138
