When you are running Debian or a Debian derivative like Ubuntu, the /etc/shorewall directory is minimally populated. Each of the quickstart guides contain this warning: Warning Note to Debian and Ubuntu Users If you install using the .deb, you will find that your /etc/shorewall directory is practially empty. This is intentional. The released configuration file skeletons may be found on your system in the directory /usr/share/doc/shorewall/default-config. Simply copy the files you need from that directory to /etc/shorewall and modify the copies. > > I also remember that I may have had to reinstall postfix a couple of times > before any of this happened, but I believe if the postfix or other mail > config was wrong, the mail problem would persist even when the fw is down. > So I believe this is shorewall related...its been a frustrating issue for a > while now sending out mail then never getting answers when replies never go > through.
