Two more things. I see from your Apache welcome page you do not seem to have a hostname defined for this server. It is identifying itself as 10.0.0.10 I know Postfix gets upset if there is no valid hostname. Are you sure Postfix is actually running The logs in /var/log/mail will let you know its status. I also had second thoughts about your firewall. By default shorewall will block pings, yet I was able to ping your host. So are you running without a firewall, or with a different firewall? (BTW: I note that you also have ssh running. While ssh is considerably more secure than telnet, it is still only as good as the password you have chosen. A weak password can easily be broken. This article will tell you how to make ssh bombproof http://www.mandrakesecure.net/en/docs/openssh.php ) derek -- ---------------------------------- www.jennings.homelinux.net
