Hi Paul,
I got up this morning and for some reason dbmail had stopped working. I
was receiving messages from thunderbird that it could not connect to the
server. I messed around in the configure files and never could get
things going. I had learned that FC6, which I am running on my desktop,
has a rpm package for dbmail. I originally had installed dbmail with a
../configure --with-pgsql; gmake; and gmake install.
Just for the record: what version is in FC6?
[EMAIL PROTECTED] log]# dbmail-imapd -V
This is DBMail version 2.2.5
I now have everything working locally, again, but still no luck with
email coming in from the WAN/Internet over port 25. I have a router on
my network that forwards ports 143 and port beginning with 24 and ending
with 25 to my desktop computer where dbmail is listing.
So check the postfix logs (/var/log/mail.log or something like that).
Perhaps your network setup is broken.
You don't want to forward tcp/24 from the internet to your lmtp server.
OK, I changed the router to only forward port 25.
Test to make sure something is talking on tcp/25 by connecting to your
*external* ip address using a tool like telnet or netcat.
The fuser command below indicates that a process owned by rount is
running on port 25
#------------------------------
[EMAIL PROTECTED] log]# fuser -vn tcp 25
USER PID ACCESS COMMAND
25/tcp: root 6962 F.... master
#-----------------------------------------
I was able to ssh into my desktop computer under port 22 as follows:
#------------------------------------------
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ ssh -p 22 192.168.1.78
[EMAIL PROTECTED]'s password:
Last login: Sat Sep 15 21:01:27 2007
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$
#---------------------------------------------
This is my desktop's response when trying to ssh using port 25
#-------------------------------------
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ ssh -p 25 192.168.1.78
ssh: connect to host 192.168.1.78 port 25: Connection refused
#------------------------------------------------

You should see a postfix reply.
