In general, listening only on localhost is done for security reasons. It looks like sendmail binds only to 127.0.0.1:25 $ sudo lsof -i :25 -n COMMAND PID USER FD TYPE DEVICE SIZE/OFF NODE NAME sendmail 5333 root 4u IPv4 654974 0t0 TCP 127.0.0.1:smtp (LISTEN) sendmail or the application that is using port 25 in your case might have the option to specify the ip address for listening. -- 0 _______________________________________________ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
