Hello all,

 

I'm having an issue I have yet to figure out.  About a week or so ago my
server stopped accepting incoming connections to send mail.  I checked my
router/firewall/port forwarding settings and all was correct. So I went
inside our network (origionally the client was outside) and attempted to
connect/send mail.  Same error from client, unable to connect to mail
server.  So I attempted to telnet to both the external IP and internal IP
addresses.  Connection refused (using putty).

 

I checked the logs after that and don't see any reference to any IP address
attempting to connect to port 25.  I checked to see if IP tables had somehow
been enabled on the machine. Nothing. I then checked for SELinux and ran
nmap localhost and nmap Domain as well as nmap hostname.  It says port 25 is
open and taking requests yet I get connection refused at any location.

 

To make things interesting, I'm able to email to any address that server
holds.  Just can't reply/send out from any address the server holds.  Any
thoughts where I could look?  The logs don't even show an attempted
connection.
