I installed FC4 as a mail server. Then I used Outlook to test it. The POP3 (incoming email) was passed, however, the outgoing (SMTP, port 25) failed. I got the error message: The TCP/IP connection was unexpectedly terminated by the server.(server: '192.168.2.214', Error Number 0x800ccc0f). I checked the server using nmap localhost, I got the following output: Starting nmap 3.81 ( http://www.insecure.org/nmap/ ) at 2006-03-30 16:36 EST Interesting ports on mail1.avensys.ca (127.0.0.1): (The 1652 ports scanned but not shown below are in state: closed) PORT STATE SERVICE 21/tcp open ftp 22/tcp open ssh 25/tcp open smtp 80/tcp open http 110/tcp open pop3 111/tcp open rpcbind 143/tcp open imap 443/tcp open https 993/tcp open imaps 995/tcp open pop3s 3306/tcp open mysql It seems that smtp port 25 is open.

What's wrong with me? Any suggestion? Thanks a lot.
The mail log in /var/log/maillog likes this: Mar 30 11:17:09 mail1 postfix/smtpd[10183]: connect from mail1.avensys.ca[127.0.0.1] Mar 30 11:17:09 mail1 ipop3d[10185]: pop3 service init from 192.168.2.40 Mar 30 11:17:09 mail1 ipop3d[10185]: Mailbox vulnerable - directory /var/spool/mail must have 1777 protection Mar 30 11:17:09 mail1 ipop3d[10185]: Login user=zyan host=[192.168.2.40] nmsgs=0/0 Mar 30 11:17:09 mail1 ipop3d[10185]: Mailbox vulnerable - directory /var/spool/mail must have 1777 protection Mar 30 11:17:09 mail1 ipop3d[10185]: Logout user=zyan host=[192.168.2.40] nmsgs=0 ndele=0 Mar 30 11:17:27 mail1 postfix/smtpd[10183]: disconnect from mail1.avensys.ca[127.0.0.1] Mar 30 11:20:22 mail1 ipop3d[10199]: pop3 service init from 192.168.2.76 Mar 30 11:20:22 mail1 ipop3d[10199]: Mailbox vulnerable - directory /var/spool/mail must have 1777 protection Mar 30 11:20:22 mail1 ipop3d[10199]: Login user=zyan host=[192.168.2.76] nmsgs=0/0 What does the 'Mailbox vulnerable - directory /var/spool/mail must have 1777 protection' mean? Thanks.
Please run Code: chmod 1777 /var/spool/mail However, this does not affect your sending problem. Can you post a log excerpt from when you try to send a mail?
I can deliver mail within local machine. For example, use command line: [root@mail1 ~]# mail paul the account paul can receive the test mail.
