Hello all, I am trying to setup an email server and am running into the following issue: I can telnet to port 25 using localhost, but am unable to telnet to the SMTP server using either the hostname, the fully qualified hostname or the machine's IP address. How do I allow access to SMTP both on the box and from other machines on my LAN to the box using it's hostname and / or it's IP adress? Some details: OS: Suse Linux 8.0 Sendmail version is 8.12.2-88 This is all taking place behind a firewall and port 25 is open to the machine from the outside. many thanks Ahbaid
