Hi I'm setting up a dedicated server from 1&1 Internet which has CentOS 6.3 with Postfix 2.8.4 and Plesk 11.0.9 pre-installed.
Though I've added the main domain name (and set the server hostname to be the same), and a mailbox for that domain, in Plesk, and set Plesk to activate mail for the domain, no one is able to send an email to the server. I tried to telnet to port 25 of my server and it says Connection refused. I did "sudo netstat -nlp" and I can't find any process running on port 25. Should there be a postfix process running on port 25, in order for me to receive mail? If so then at least I know what direction to go in troubleshooting. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Tracy
