Additional information in response. When I do the telnet, it is from the machine running the mailserver so networking and firewalls shouldn't interfere. I can ping out from the machine. PS shows sendmail is running with the following message: Sendmail: Rejecting connection on port 25 : min free: 100 hosts.allow has "sendmail: all". IP filtering I'm not sure about. -- Paul McHale Work: 937-320-5495 Double E Solutions Mobile: 937-371-2828 1435 Edenwood Dr Fax: 413-215-3232 Beavercreek, Ohio 45434 -- > -----Original Message----- > From: kmself@ix.netcom.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Wednesday, October 11, 2000 10:35 PM > To: Debian-User > Subject: Re: Telnet to mail host replies connection refused > > > On Wed, Oct 11, 2000 at 10:28:26PM -0400, Paul McHale > ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) wrote: > > > > When I type: > > > > telnet IP_NUM 25 > > > > I get: > > > > telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection Refused > > The host is refusing your connection.
