Hi All, Just trying to get the above setup on my VPS. I have installed Postfix & Dovecot using yum. Cyrus-SASL is installed also using yum. Thing is, I cant get a connection via telnet 25 (remotely or locally) mail error_log: Code: Nov 22 12:20:01 VM477 dovecot: pop3-login: Disconnected: rip=::ffff:127.0.0.1, lip=::ffff:127.0.0.1, secured Nov 22 12:20:01 VM477 postfix/smtpd[12421]: connect from VM477.vmhosts.co.uk[127.0.0.1] Nov 22 12:20:01 VM477 postfix/smtpd[12421]: lost connection after CONNECT from VM477.vmhosts.co.uk[127.0.0.1] Nov 22 12:20:01 VM477 postfix/smtpd[12421]: disconnect from VM477.vmhosts.co.uk[127.0.0.1] Nov 22 12:21:33 VM477 dovecot: Killed with signal 15 Nov 22 12:22:02 VM477 clamd[13102]: SelfCheck: Database status OK.

Maybe a bit more of an insight. I am running the above configuration on a VPS, hosting 2 domains. According to mxtoolbox.com the SMPT is actively refusing the connection on port 25. If i use telnet (via ssh) on my VPS using: telnet localhost 25: Code: [root@vm477 ~]# telnet localhost 25 Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to VM477.vmhosts.co.uk (127.0.0.1).

What's in /usr/lib64/sasl2/smtpd.conf (if this is a 64bit system) or /usr/lib/sasl2/smtpd.conf (if this is a 32bit system)? Can you post your /etc/postfix/main.cf? Which tutorial (URL) did you use to set up the system?
