Dear List, I have just finished setting up a mailserver... or so I thought. However I could not telnet to port 25 either locally or on any machine in our LAN. ================================== [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/mhacleth$ telnet localhost 25 Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to localhost. Escape character is '^]'. ^] telnet>quit ==================================

I already googled for similar problems but most of the results that I saw can still connect to the localhost... I can't... Is there any setting that I missed? Any similar problem you encountered?
