    I've been following The Perfect setup for Mandriva and it states:

    To see if SMTP-AUTH and TLS work properly now run the following command:
    telnet localhost 25
    After you have established the connection to your postfix mail server type
    ehlo localhost
    If you see the lines
    250-STARTTLS
    and
    250-AUTH
    everything is fine.

    Up to this point, everything has gone smoothly.
    After I telnet, I get
    Connected to server1.xxxx.xx (127.0.0.1)
    Escape character is '^]'.

    and that's where it hangs...

    I type in anything and it just hangs there, no commands work, only the escape character gets me anywhere.

    Is there a reason it says it's connected, but nothing else happens or works?
    Suggestions as to figure out what I've done wrong?

    Thanks

    Does server1.xxxx.xx exist in DNS? Is it listed in /etc/hosts?

    yes it does.

    hosts shows
    127.0.0.1 server1.xxxx.xx server1 localhost

    I also continued on with the appache install and php doesn't seem to install (Appache2-mod_php) because it is showing there is a conflict with php-ncurses. Is there a way to remove ncurses and install php first and then try to reinstall ncurses?

    And does server1.xxxx.xx exist in DNS? Can you post the real name here?
