Yes, for some reason, my /etc/postfix/main.cf had "inet_interfaces =
127.0.0.1 ::1", instead of "inet_interfaces = all". Fixing this fixed
the problem. Thanks!
My boxes sometimes get new network interfaces; I don't necessarily want
my server software listening to _all_ addresses, so enumerating the ones
you want _can_ be right.
I presume you're fairly new to this; the same technique applies to
_anything_ that doesn't list when you speak!
This morning I found I was getting "connection refused" when trying to
connect to a server at work (through a VPN). It was actually listening,
so the next things I checked were firewall settings
1. On the server; I was fiddling with those yesterday
2. On all firewalls between here and there. One was blocking the
traffic; restarting the firewall fixed the problem.

It shows that it's listening:

(LISTEN)
However, I noticed it says "localhost.smtp". Does this mean it's not
listening to remote requests?
It does. That's the problem.
And I did restart postfix numerous times and even rebooted :-(
Also, I finally received a Delivery Failure Report after 3 days:
"Deferred: Connection refused by <my.machine.name.here.com>"

Mark, I seem to have the same problem on SLES 9 as you did over a
year ago :S
I've tried updating the /etc/sysconfig/mail file with the option
SMTPD_LISTEN_REMOTE="yes", but no luck.
I try "telnet machinename 25" to see if it's listening on port 25
(even though netstat shows it is) but again, no luck (connection
refused).
Firewall rule?
Check with iptables, and to see whether it's really listening, use
lsof -i
Were you able to resolve this problem?

I'm setting up a postfix server. It sends mail perfectly. I just
don't
receive any mail. And so far none of the email I've sent TO the
postfix
server have returned with an error. Is there some thing I can sent
in a
typical email client to trace what my email is doing? I'm baffled
as to
what to try next.
