Ok, panic over. What I found was that all port 25 packets were being denied. The /etc/e-smith/templates/etc/rc.d/init.d/masq/45AllowSMTP had changed and would not parse thus disallowing all port 25 packets. I restored 45AllowSMTP from a backup, expanded the masq template, restarted masq and all is well. Now that I know how to fix it I am going to find out what broke it in the first place.
Several minutes later the culprit is e-smith-mailfront-0.3.7-01.noarch.rpm This is from 5.6 right and 5.6 uses iptables 45AllowSMTP (5.5) { my $status = $DB->get('smtpfront-qmail')->prop('status') || "disabled"; my $access = $DB->get('smtpfront-qmail')->prop('access') || "public"; if ( ($status eq "enabled") and ($access eq "public") ) { $OUT .= <<'HERE'; /sbin/ipchains --append input -p tcp -s 0/0 -d $OUTERNET 25 -j ACCEPT /sbin/ipchains --append output ! -y -p tcp -d 0/0 -s $OUTERNET 25 -j ACCEPT HERE } } 45AllowSMTP (5.6) { my $status = ${'smtpfront-qmail'}{'status'} || "disabled"; my $access = ${'smtpfront-qmail'}{'access'} || "public"; $OUT = allow_tcp_in(25, ($status eq "enabled") && ($access eq "public")); } Jon > -----Original Message----- > From: Darrell May [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Thursday, November 21, 2002 2:32 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; Jon Blakely - CTS Howick; > [EMAIL PROTECTED]; 'e-smith-devinfo' > Subject: RE: [e-smith-devinfo] [ALPHA] mailrules for SME5.5 available > > > > Jon Blakely - CTS Howick <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> said: > > > I have just tried your alpha contrib.
