Ric....

Um...a quick, sweet scan of your system proved to be very revealing. I know exactly why your messages and in fact all messages are being refuse...port 25 and your other ports you're using for email in and out are all closed. that would tend to explain a lot as to why you can't get messages in and out of the place.

As far as I know there are only three things that can cause these ports to close like this.

1) the firewall has closed these ports by dropping all packets going to those ports.

2) the services aren't running...in this case Postfix.

3) the line in the /etc/services file that contains the reference to the port and service has been commented out closing off the port and the service which runs there upon.

this third item is the most perplexing in that this file has to be edited manually. I don't know of any program that writes to this file in the normal course of doing its thing.

You know??? it just occurred to me that you might not even see this post! &%(_(ET$#%*(*^Y#@
