assp tutorial port 25 woes

Hi there - I was following the assp tutorial, and all seems to have gone well, with the exception of my port 25.

Now as the tutorial suggests, you configure postfix to listen on 127.0.0.1:25 and the assp on p.ub.l.ic:25.

So what I did was change my main.cf for postfix - inet_interfaces to localhost, then edited the master.cd to have the 127.0.0.1:smtp entry.

Once I restart postfix and start assp, i then ran

# netstat -tupl

To check for my listening ports.... I can see my localhost smtp, however nothing for my public ip:25

IS there a setting somewhere for assp to bind it to a particular IP or interface? I am assuming the port 25 is being glommed by postfix. I know I could change the port for postfix, etc, however I would prefer to work with 25 as the tutorial suggested.

Also how will assp effect my smtp auth and my postfix fore relaying outbound email?

Thanks!

 

Yes I did. I made sure of it....

I had done the basic config based on info I had searched for on the net.

 

What are the outputs of

Code:

ifconfig

and

Code:

netstat -tap

?

 

ifconfig

Postfix is listening on port 25 on 127.0.0.1, but there's no process listening on port 25 on 64.40.xxx.xxx...

 

Yup! In my original message I stated that....

 

Please direct your browser to http://example.com:55555 (replace example.com with your server's IP address 64.40.xxx.xxx) and then tell assp to listen on 64.40.xxx.xxx:25.

 

I had done that before my original posting...

 

Does your firewall allow connections on port 55555?

 

no it is not as I only access the web interface via localhost... does it need ot be open for other functions?

 

I don't think so.
What's the output of

Code:

grep 55555 /etc/services

?
