They should just be opening a tcp socket to localhost port 25 Maybe try sshing to the server (or using the console). su to the apache user and try the following: $ telnet localhost 25 You should get back something similar to: 220 mail.skwashd.com ESMTP Server <Microsoft Exchange Internet Mail Service> It is really neat how postfix lets you change the server string :) Then follow this example for testing that mail can be sent from the box - see http://weblogs.asp.net/owscott/archive/2005/03/15/394681.aspx Let us know how well that works. btw which mta?
