Do you have a DNS entry and/or /etc/hosts entry for these machines? Also you might check to make sure the "ident" service is running. i have seen postfix refuse to deliver mail if it was not running correctly. Also check your firewall rules and make sure that things can connect to port 25. (hosts.allow and hosts.deny can also effect that.) -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] | Note to AOL users: for a quick shortcut to reply Alan Olsen | to my mail, just hit the ctrl, alt and del keys.
