hi guys, i have written to the forum today morning about postfix on ispconfig with FC5 perfect setup. i can send emails to my server or my domain www.keshwani.net but cannot receive it. so i checked the port 25 if it is blocked at firewall level. my server is under DMZ so shouldnt be a problem. I searched the thread and found somebody saying telnet mx4.hotmail.com 25 tried this command and i am surprised. it says [root@newlocal log]# telnet mx4.hotmail.com 25 Trying 65.54.244.232... and doesnt do anything Is that the problem? How do i fix it. thanks munika [root@newlocal ~]# netstat -tap Active Internet connections (servers and established) Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address State PID/Program name tcp 0 0 *:48393 *:* LISTEN 1415/rpc.statd tcp 0 0 *:mysql *:* LISTEN 24297/mysqld tcp 0 0 *:sunrpc *:* LISTEN 1396/portmap tcp 0 0 newlocal:50000 *:* LISTEN 1633/hpiod tcp 0 0 *:hosts2-ns *:* LISTEN 15027/ispconfig_htt tcp 0 0 newlocal:50002 *:* LISTEN 1638/python tcp 0 0 192.168.1.106:domain *:* LISTEN 4309/named tcp 0 0 newlocal:domain *:* LISTEN 4309/named tcp 0 0 *:smtp *:* LISTEN 18446/master tcp 0 0 newlocal:rndc *:* LISTEN 4309/named tcp 0 0 newlocal:50000 newlocal:52712 ESTABLISHED 1633/hpiod tcp 0 0 newlocal:52712 newlocal:50000 ESTABLISHED 1638/python tcp 0 0 *op3s *:* LISTEN 1804/dovecot tcp 0 0 *op3 *:* LISTEN 1804/dovecot tcp 0 0 *:imap *:* LISTEN 1804/dovecot tcp 0 0 *:http *:* LISTEN 15051/httpd tcp 0 0 *:ftp *:* LISTEN 30194/proftpd: (acc tcp 0 0 *:ssh *:* LISTEN 23714/sshd tcp 0 0 ::1:rndc *:* LISTEN 4309/named tcp 0 52 ::ffff:192.168.1.106:ssh ts06.tor.axent.ca:59901 ESTABLISHED 7345/0
