I've recently noticed that the following doesn't work on the host server...
(IP address is that of vs)
telnet 192.168.0.66 smtp
gives "smtp : bad port number" - although doing 'pop3' seems to work and
telnet 192.168.0.66 25
gives "Unable to connect to remote host : connection refused."
How can I tell whether sendmail is actually running as a daemon on the
virtual server as it doesn't appear under "ps -A" (done on either host or
vs) although I guess it might be hidden away under 'inetd' ??
Thanks in advance. Sorry for being such a pain with my newbie questions.
