Ah, changing the port to 25 seems to have worked, thanks! I had a
feeling it might be the ports, but on the default setting, it lists 25
as one of the ports used.
I had to reformat my HD because when I upgraded to a 500Gb one, I had
partitioned it without using the GUID partition map, and Snow Leopard
wouldn't install on a partitioned HD without it having the GUID map.
And yes, I realize that the POP and SMTP are different protocols, I
just stated that just to let people know that it was only the SMTP
server that was having problems :)
Thanks again,
