You are right. I way saying 'receiving mail via a web server' because any mail sent to that machine should be processed there. There is no other dedicated mail server which would do a job for it like(host.domain.com for the server and mail.host.domain.com for the mail server). >If so make sure your SMTP server is listening for > outside connectons: > > inet_interfaces = $myhostname, localhost > > Make sure your local_recipient_maps is correctly configured, you can > turn it off this way for now: > > local_recipient_maps = I've done both and rebooted the computer. > Make sure your firewall is passing port 25 (SMTP) > > Then from another machine try this (replace mymachine.mynetwork with > your DNS address): > > % telnet mymachine.mynetwork.com 25 I tried 'ping'ing and received no answer for 128.252.27.164 . My system admin tested it and reported that "nothing is listening on that port: ------ [EMAIL PROTECTED] telnet nrg.wustl.edu 25 Trying 128.252.27.164... telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused [EMAIL PROTECTED] " > Does postfix answer?
