Kenneth, I have been using Postfix for a while now. And I have never run into this issue. Postfix may take time to respond. What does 'does not work' mean? Connection refused or hang? Both are different. Connection refused means that Postfix is not listening(TCP RST) and hang means that it is slow. Localhost is an alias for 127.0.0.1. Try editing /etc/postfix/main.cf and look at the mynetworks parameter. Try adding 192.168.0.0/16 to it. Dovecot has nothing to do with postfix. It is used for IMAP and POP3 whereas Postfix is SMTP server(MTA). -Girish -- G3 Tech Networking appliance company web: http://g3tech.in mail: [email protected] _______________________________________________ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
