Check /var/log/messages (possibly /var/log/maillog) and output from dmesg to see if there are any clues. > Second, the line I'm seeing in my netstat: > > tcp 0 0 localhost:smtp *:* LISTEN 1 3150/sendmail: MTA > > Is bugging me. I think I'm getting confused between smtp and You'd mentioned postfix so I didn't make any comment on the "sendmail" above. Perhaps you've got sendmail running instead of postfix and don't realize it? When you # telnet localhost 25 what is in the banner? If sendmail is running, have a look at /etc/mail/sendmail.mc for something like: DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=smtp,Addr=127.0.0.1, Name=MTA')dnl and then # cd /etc/mail # cp sendmail.cf sendmail.cf.bak # m4 sendmail.mc > sendmail.cf # /etc/init.d/sendmail restart or maybe you want postfix instead of sendmail? > smtpd.
