    Hello

    When I type "telnet localhost" I am able to connect.
    But when I type "elho localhost" I get nothing back. The prompt just sits and never returns anything.

    I am able to login to an email account I created for a website but I am unable to send email. The system times out and then returns:
    SMTP Error: Recipient not accepted. Verify your relay rules

    Where should I start?
    Regards
    Russ

    Yes for sure. That part works fine. It is when I get to the second command.
    ehlo localhost that nothing happens.

    postfix logfile

    Good call on the log file. There are thousands of entries that look like this:

    postfix/tlsmgr[4897] warning cannot open entropy device dev/urandom: no such file or directory
    postfix/tlsmgr[4897] exiting to reopen external entropy source dev:dev/urandom


    Some background: I followed the: "http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect_setup_centos_4.4

    Found the problem!

    OKay after looking at those error messages for a few minutes I realized a problem. There was a typo:

    tls_random_source = dev:dev/urandom
    Should be:
    tls_random_source = dev:/dev/urandom
    Notice the missing slash?

    Now I can send and receive email! HOORAYYY!!! :D
