Dear All, Please I need help. My postfix server gives the following error when client system on the LAN try to send out mail. ¨delivery temporary suspended: connect to 127.0.0.1 [127.0.0.1]: connection refused¨. Mails been pulled by fetchmail are not been delivered to clients and outgoing mails are not delivered either. I can do telnet localhost 25 and get the following. [root@mandriva ~]# telnet mandriva.amlbti.lan 25 Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to mandriva.amlbti.lan (127.0.0.1).

What are the outputs of Code: netstat -tap and Code: uname -a ? Does /usr/lib/postfix/smtpd (not /usr/lib64/postfix/smtpd) exist?
