Hi Kevin; Thanks for the response. To answer your questions (in order): I can send mail out from directly on the server, or from anywhere within my home network. That part works just fine. (hmmm... should probably be a clue in that statement...I've set hosts.allow, so it's not that...). But right now, my mobile workstation is outside the home network (I'm about 3500 miles away from it). I'm dialing up through an ISP. I set my mail client to send via SMTP through my home server.
It's getting rejected. Thy're not bouncing back. They never make it to the server. It's like the port was closed (which it's not.. I've verified that). No orphaned e-Mails. It's fine on the server. I'm running Postfix. I suspect that it's a simple permissions error, I'm just going blank trying to find it. Any suggestions are of course greatly appreciated.
