hi. just installed postfix on my ubuntu box. when i set the email program it came with to localhost, it says theres a LOAD ERROR when it sends/receives and has a bunch of numbers and then says something like 'directory or file not found'.
When i set the smtp servr to the name of the computer, it says "connected refused".
any ideas why? i used the default installation settings.
many tahnks

Firewall?
You need to allow smtp port 25 access. Try to > telnet localhost 25

Yeh was thinking that but didnt think i had any firewall. I would have though localhost as the smtp server would have had the same effect as my computer name?
Well... I installed pfsense and SQUID. Would any of these block port 25 by default?
Sorry, this is for an assignment and i have to set up a whole heap of services.
Also one quick question please- i installed pfsense but have no ieda to tell if it is working. How would I go about showing that it works? Can I block say port 80 to show that it dosnt work?
Many thanks

I really don't know those firewall's personaly. I use Shorewall myself.
I would disable those and use the default iptables to be sure your port is working correctly first.
You have to add a rule to iptables, to open the port:
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 25 -j ACCEPT
Use "nmap localhost" to see if the port is open or not.
