Hmmm... I'll check. I noticed that when I run the command: service postfix start smtpd Everything works. But it seems I need to run this command explicitly from the command line. I still haven't been able to tweak the file /etc/postfix/master.cf in suchg a way as to make it work when I run the postfix service on bootup. I've already gotten chkconfig to run postfix on runlevels 3 and 5, but smtp doesn't answer on port 25 unless I run the above specific command. I also found the smtp service line in /etc/postfix/master.cf, but I'm not sure what to change in it. Perhaps I should pout an explict host:port entry? Right now it just says "smtp", so it defaults to port 25. Does that mean it also efaults to localhost only? Sorry for asking so many questions!
