You only need to open up port 25 if you're receiving e-mail. You don't need it to send. The default sendmail configuration on Red Hat Linux is to allow outgoing e-mail only (the release notes tell you how to enable incoming e-mail). Open up port 110 only to allow outsiders to pull their e-mail via pop. For a webserver, you may not need to open up port 25 at all, and ditto for port 110. -- Ed Wilts, Mounds View, MN, USA mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Member #1, Red Hat Community Ambassador Program -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
