I assume you and the web server are behind a masquerading router. If that is the case, trying to access the outside IP of the router will fail, because the forwarding rules will not be triggered. Except you have take precautions in this regard, of course. Here are known good iptables rules for SMTP, edit as necessary: iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i ppp0 -p tcp --dport 25 -j DNAT \ --to `host balrog | sed -e 's/^.*address //'`:25 iptables -I FORWARD 2 -o eth0 -p tcp --dport 25 -j ACCEPT Cheers, Nick -- Nicolas Kratz | GPG-key: 1D6D075A <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | Never touch a running sysop, <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | or your wife is a big hippo.
