Albus Posted December 2, 2004 Report Share Posted December 2, 2004 (edited) Alrighty! Here I go. I've had a debian console only server for a while, but when my windows workstation croaked I chose to upgrade to Mandrake as it's the only distro that has built-in support for all my hardware. WHOOP! Well anyway, I got Postfix configged ok and the pop daemons are installed and are listening netstat verified) but things like KMail can't access the pop boxes. I get server timeout errors. Any idea what may be causing this? I will provide my postfix mian.cf if required, because I may have the mail_command setting wrong. Let me know if I need to post that.

Albus Posted December 3, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2004 Look at all the replies! What a warm weloome. :D j/k ... I know it's hard to keep up at these forums. Anyway, I got most of it all working now except for one small thing. In the KMail client I can send if I choose "sendmail" as the protocol type, but if I choose SMTP and put the values in that a user outside the LAN would use, it won't connect. Even if I use 'localhost' or the IP, it still refuses. Any clues? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fissy Posted December 3, 2004 Report Share Posted December 3, 2004 you said the pop daemons are listening as verified by netstat, is postfix listening on port 25? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
