How can I make sure that the MTA is properly listening on SMTPHOST/SMTPPORT (they have the default values, SMTPHOST = 'localhost', SMTPPORT = 0)? I installed Postfix by using the official directions( http://www.gnu.org/software/mailman/mailman-install/postfix-integration.html )
Also, in regard to the firewall I added a preconfigured rule for the smtp service (port 25), so I think this should be fine. Furthermore, `netstat -na | grep ":25"` produces the following result: tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:25 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN I am just guessing, but could this also be to the `/etc/hosts` folder permissions? This is what `ls -ld /etc/hosts` produces: -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 281 2012-06-29 03:08 /etc/hosts Thanks, Emanuel DANCI ________________________________ From: Mark Sapiro <m...@msapiro.net> To: Danci Emanuel <danci_eman...@yahoo.com> Cc: "mailman-developers@python.org" <mailman-developers@python.org> Sent: Thursday, June 28, 2012 1:17 AM Subject: Re: [Mailman-Developers] smtp error - [Errno 111] Connection refused - when trying to install MM 3.0 On 6/27/2012 11:07 AM, Danci Emanuel wrote: > > Also, there is one more thing that could be related to this problem.

With respect to the above, there is no MTA listening on SMTPHOST/SMTPPORT (default licalhost/25) or connection is blocked by a firewall.
