I agree that port 25 is dead. The question is: Why & How?

The line in /etc/services is fine. It's uncommented.
smtp IS included in bastille-firewall.cfg
postfix "is" running.

I have no clue as to what closed that port! And I've rebooted a couple

of times. So what ever is doing it, is persistant!

Here's something to think about, what if the portsentry didnt get
completely removed, and left some cruft.. some of which happens to be blocking port
25

What & where?
I took portsentry out of the startup, and rebooted the box. So it was never run. I've also gone in, and tried "taming" it, to NOT block TCP and 25 is still solidly closed.

"something" "somewhere" is closing 25. And possibly 110 (Mark, when you did your scan, was 110 open?)


But what... and where... and how...

Hey Mark:
What's in your /etc/xinetd.d ? Maybe I'm missing something?

Thanks !

Ric

PS: I just did a test. I can send mail "out" from that box. I just won't take it in.
