Hi, I'm trying to set up a Postfix SMTP server on my machine (FreeBSD 4.11). I read the cheat notes here <http://www.mostgraveconcern.com/freebsd/mail.html>; and I can get Postfix running. However, when I try to telnet in or connect with Mozilla Thunderbird nothing happens. Here is an example: tom@killdozer$ telnet 127.0.0.1 25 Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to localhost.angrycoder.org. Escape character is '^]'. [some time goes by here...] [I get angry and mash the escape character like a monkey] ^] telnet> quit Connection closed. Here is some [hopefully!] useful info: tom@killdozer$ ps auxw | grep post postfix 275 0.0 0.2 1328 1032 ?? I 9:48PM 0:00.02 proxymap -t unix -u postfix 175 0.0 0.2 1384 1084 ?? I 9:47PM 0:00.02 qmgr -l -t fifo -u postfix 174 0.0 0.2 1348 1060 ?? I 9:47PM 0:00.02 pickup -l -t fifo -u root 173 0.0 0.2 1328 1040 ?? Is 9:47PM 0:00.08 /usr/local/libexec/postfix/master tom@killdozer$ uname -a FreeBSD killdozer.angrycoder.org 4.11-RELEASE FreeBSD 4.11-RELEASE #0: Fri Apr 22 01:01:47 EDT 2005 admin@63-246-146-190.domain.tld:/usr/src/sys/compile/TOMKERNEL i386 [TOMKERNEL is just generic with SSE instructions enabled] Thank you in advance for any help FreeBSD Gurus!
