-----------------------------------------------------------------------------


And now i cant telnet to port 25 from antoher machine but i can from the
local one. Like this

---------------------------------------------------
localmachine$ telnet 192.168.2.2 25
Trying 192.168.2.2...
Connected to 192.168.2.2.
Escape character is '^]'.
220 xxx.yyy.zzz.com ESMTP Postfix (Debian/GNU)
---------------------------------------------------

---------------------------------------------------
remotemachine$ telnet xxx.yyy.zzz.com 25
421 xxx.yyy.zzz.com Sorry, unable to contact destination SMTP daemon.
---------------------------------------------------

if i issue the comand "/etc/init.d/iptables clear" witch set all policies
to ACCEPT i get the folowing out put from iptables -vL.


---------------------------------------------------------
Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT 6 packets, 384 bytes)
 pkts bytes target     prot opt in     out     source
destination

Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT 0 packets, 0 bytes)
 pkts bytes target     prot opt in     out     source
destination

Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT 3 packets, 360 bytes)
 pkts bytes target     prot opt in     out     source
destination
----------------------------------------------------------

And know i can telnet to port 25 from another machine. An important note
is that this problem is only with port 25, i can telnet to port 110 and 22
all the time.

Can anyone please enligthen me on this problem as it is a bit wired.

thanks for all the input and the help

Mvh./Yours sincerely
