Couldn't open SMTP server 127.0.0.1:25!
I'm running Redhat 9 with OpenWebMail installed. When i try to send email it got this error message from OpenWebMail Couldn't open SMTP server 127.0.0.1:25! I need some assistance on this area since I just recently installed OpenWebMail for my office intranet server. Thank You.

This is a FreeBSD mailing list. FreeBSD has nothing whatsoever to do with Redhat, I'm afraid. Having a wild guess, it looks like postfix is not actually running. Try ps augx | egrep postfix to see that there is actually something listening. If not, then check that you actually have startup scripts enabled for postfix. Try: ls /etc/rc.d/rc?.d/S*po* which should show output like /etc/rc.d/rc2.d/S80postfix /etc/rc.d/rc3.d/S80postfix /etc/rc.d/rc4.d/S80postfix /etc/rc.d/rc5.d/S80postfix If not, the as root chkconfig --add postfix probably does the right thing, but I find the chkconfig man page to be obscure and unhelpful so there might be a better way. After running the above ls should show the files as listed above. To try starting postif now, run as root sh /etc/init.d/postfix start If none of this makes any sense, then I suggest getting a book on Linux administration. --Alex ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
