Guest ethrbunny Posted December 17, 2002 Report Share Posted December 17, 2002 Im working to get my MDK9 box to act as a mail server for my domain. The nameservers are outside the firewall (a linksys device) while the mail server is inside. The firewall is supposed to be routing hits on port25 to the server.. but I haven't made it that far yet. When I try to send/receive I get a message back that port 25 is not accepting connections. Looking at /var/log I can see that the server is running. Did I miss a step? Is there some step to tell Postfix to listen? Any suggestions would be appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tcreek Posted December 27, 2002 Report Share Posted December 27, 2002 I have been having the same problem. I think it is in the IP tables But I know nothing about changing them so I am stuck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ethrbunny Posted December 27, 2002 Report Share Posted December 27, 2002 I went back and looked at the RPM listings - it turned out that 'postfix' was getting installed by default and was locking up the port. Try 'rpm -qa | grep postfix' to see if thats your problem. If so you can remove it via 'rpm -e <name of postfix pkg from above cmd>' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tcreek Posted December 28, 2002 Report Share Posted December 28, 2002 Sorry, but I am not following what you mean. You are saying that you are having trouble with postfix. Then you mention that it being installed by defualt is the problem. Then to uninstall it? 2 versions of postfix? I would have to install version 9 again to check his out. I went back to version 8.2 because I could find no answers to why I could not connect to port 25. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tcreek Posted December 28, 2002 Report Share Posted December 28, 2002 I upgraded to version 9 for the 6th time. And now port 25 is open and accepting connections. Why now it started this I will never know. However now I cannot make connections to the web server!! Agg! One thing after another Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Kamikaze_Gerbil Posted December 29, 2002 Report Share Posted December 29, 2002 Make sure your main.ctf in /etc/postfix has in the section "Receiving Mail" the following set: inet_interfaces = all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
