    The 192.168.2.1 is the IP address of my router/firewall. I am trying to get this running on my old laptop that has a wireless connection to the router/firewall. The ifconfig gave this...
    root@server1:~# ifconfig
    lo Link encap:Local Loopback
    inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0
    inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host

    RX bytes:216554 (211.4 KiB) TX bytes:43409 (42.3 KiB)
    Interrupt:9 Base address:0x1800


    I, also, tried the postconf -e 'smtp_host_lookup=native' command. Restarted postfix and there was no change. I still get this...

    root@server1:~# telnet localhost 25
    Trying 127.0.0.1...
    Connected to localhost.localdomain.
    Escape character is '^]'.
    ^]
    telnet>


    I have been reading all over the place trying to learn this stuff but it seems like such an uphill climb.

    I did not install Ubuntu as a server but used the alt install with the gui. Does that make a difference?

    Thanks for all your help.

    Please try this in /etc/resolv.conf:

    Code:
    nameserver 145.253.2.75
    nameserver 193.174.32.18
    nameserver 194.25.0.60

    reinstall fixed it

    Well I reinstalled Ubuntu and started all over. I don't know what I did differently this time but it is all working now. Thanks for your help.

    Now to figure out what I am going to do with this. I really loaded it just to see if I can and to learn the process. I don't have a web domain or an email address to use this with. It is fun just to try.

    I'm glad you got it working. :)

    I'm closing this thread now, it's way too long and confusing...
