Hi all,
 
I am new to courier, and am trying to build a server to replace a sendmail server.
 
I followed the instructions to create RPMS via the tarballs, and installed without much problems. I am able to start up courier via the init scripts and the processes are running properly. There are two courierd, one under root, one under daemon. A bunch of other courier processes are running also, such as imap and pop3.
 
I've installed all of this onto a RedHat 7.2 box.
 
Now, I can't seem to connect to port 25 via telnet. It just says connection refused. I've tried this from a remote machine, and from the box itself (telnetting to localhost 25). I think it's probably something very simple I'm doing wrong, but I can't seem to pin-point it.
 
Before installing courier, I had sendmail running (as per the default RedHat installation), and I was able to connect to port 25, which makes me doubt it's anything to do with ipchains/firewall. I've also checked ipchains and there's a rule to allow all port 25 traffic.
 
Any suggestions?
 
Thanks!
 
-Tony
