Right, this shows exactly what I pointed out in my first suggestion, and what Vince told you in the email you are replying to. See that 127.0.0.1:25? This means the MTA is explicitly configured to listen *only* on localhost. The ::1:25 is the IPv6 equivalent. If it were listening on all addresses, you'd see *:25 instead. Now that I know it's Postfix, you need to go find and edit your Postfix master.cf; configure it to listen on your public IP address. Then do a "postfix stop" and "postfix start". Then go grep your mail server logs, most likely /var/log/maillog, because if you haven't got past this point there will most likely be other errors in the Postfix configuration you need to fix before you can actually accept mail. HTH. Oh, and do go buy the Postfix book Vince suggested. Patrick Koetter and Ralf know their stuff. -- Clifton -- Clifton Royston -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] / [EMAIL PROTECTED] President - I and I Computing * http://www.iandicomputing.com/ Custom programming, network design, systems and network consulting services _______________________________________________ LUAU@lists.hosef.org mailing list http://lists.hosef.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/luau
