Thanks all for the input. My next question is how can I test port 25. I can use Telnet from other computer to check port 110 but can't check port25.
how can I check to make sure port25 on my computer server (linux) is working? Thanks Tuan --- Miark <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Tuan tran <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> saith: > > > 1.
