I agree that port 25 is dead. The question is: Why & How?

The line in /etc/services is fine. It's uncommented.
smtp IS included in bastille-firewall.cfg
postfix "is" running.

I have no clue as to what closed that port! And I've rebooted a

couple

of times. So what ever is doing it, is persistant!

Here's something to think about, what if the portsentry didnt get

completely

removed, and left some cruft.. some of which happens to be blocking

port 25

this is likely the weirdest problem I've ever seen. Its probably the
most persistant mystery yet! I'm absolutely drawing a blank here.

What's in your /etc/xinetd.d ?

Would running (say) "msec 1" help clear this up? Possibly just having msec run through the settings, may shake this loose?

Anyone care to venture a guess?

Just a slim hope...
