Ok, panic over.
What I found was that all port 25 packets were being denied. The
/etc/e-smith/templates/etc/rc.d/init.d/masq/45AllowSMTP had changed and
would not parse thus disallowing all port 25 packets. I restored 45AllowSMTP
from a backup, expanded the masq template, restarted masq and all is well.
Now that I know how to fix it I am going to find out what broke it in the
first place.
Several minutes later
the culprit is
e-smith-mailfront-0.3.7-01.noarch.rpm
This is from 5.6 right and 5.6 uses iptables
45AllowSMTP (5.5)
{
my $status = $DB->get('smtpfront-qmail')->prop('status') || "disabled";
my $access = $DB->get('smtpfront-qmail')->prop('access') || "public";
if ( ($status eq "enabled") and ($access eq "public") )
{
$OUT .= <<'HERE';
/sbin/ipchains --append input -p tcp -s 0/0 -d $OUTERNET 25 -j ACCEPT
/sbin/ipchains --append output ! -y -p tcp -d 0/0 -s $OUTERNET 25 -j
ACCEPT
HERE
}
}
45AllowSMTP (5.6)
{
my $status = ${'smtpfront-qmail'}{'status'} || "disabled";
my $access = ${'smtpfront-qmail'}{'access'} || "public";
$OUT = allow_tcp_in(25,
($status eq "enabled") && ($access eq "public"));
}
