Fail to telnet localhost 25

Hi folks,

Ubuntu-6.06.1-LAMP-server-amd64

I followed Section "11 Postfix With SMTP-AUTH And TLS" on
http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect_setup_ubuntu_6.06_p5

to config LAMP server. Encountered problem on running;
$ sudo telnet localhost 25

Code:

Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.localdomain.
Escape character is '^]'.
220 server1.example.com ESMTP Postfix (Ubuntu)

(hanging here sometimes - then popup)

421 server1.example.com Error: timeout exceeded
Connection closed by foreign host.

Please advise how to fix the problem.

TIA

Hi till,

Tks for your advice.

Previously I made a mistake. It was NOT hanging but wasting for my input.

$ sudo /etc/init.d/saslauthd restart
Password:

Code:

Stopping SASL Authentication Daemon: saslauthd.
Starting SASL Authentication Daemon: saslauthd.

$ sudo telnet localhost 25

Code:

Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.localdomain.
Escape character is '^]'.
220 server1.example.com ESMTP Postfix (Ubuntu)

(it was waiting here.  Then I typed)
ehlo localhost
250-server1.example.com
250-PIPELINING
250-SIZE 10240000
250-VRFY
250-ETRN
250-STARTTLS
250-AUTH LOGIN PLAIN
250-AUTH=LOGIN PLAIN
250 8BITMIME

(it was further waiting here.  Then I typed)
quit
221 Bye
Connection closed by foreign host.

Tks.
