Pop3 is turned on in xinetd, and I can receive mail from the localhost. I set the firewall on the mail server to allow connection from tcp ports 25 and 110. I still cannot access it from the outside even when I turn off iptables, so I don't think that's the problem. I also have the firewall on my router forwarding tcp ports 25 and 110 to the mail server. Regarding the hosts.allow and hosts.deny files, will I have to explicitly allow the domains for everyone that I want to use the server? > SMTP relaying is a little more complicated.
