I don't have any experience with postfix but looking at their documentation, here is what I would try. 1. In main.cf, set "inet_interfaces = 192.168.1.2, 127.0.0.1" 2. sudo postfix stop 3. sudo postfix -vvv start #-vvv enables verbose mode. 4. sudo lsof -i :25 -n #check whether it listens on 192.168.1.2 4. ifconfig | grep 192.168.1.2 #check whether the interface is up 5. check /var/log/maillog #check for clues to listening on 25 The default file for mail.* syslog messages is usually /var/log/maillog but you should check your config ie., /etc/syslog.conf or /etc/rsyslog.conf or something similar for "mail.*" line. If you couldn't get it to work, it will help if you share the postfix debug log messages from /var/log/maillog and /var/log/messages (if any). -- 0 _______________________________________________ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
