Yes I did to no avail but as you can see from my previous mail I can't

telnet to the server on either port 23 or 25 so unless I'm mistaken SMTP
won't work either as both (SMTP and telnet) are application layer
applications.
I now have no firewall running (AFAICT) as I turned it off in YAST, the
server is pingable but little else. From the server I can connect to shares
on the NT/windows boxes in the office and to the internet and to network
printers so most of "networking" seems to be OK apart from connecting TO the
server, hence the firewall settings being checked and finally removed to see
if it was a firewall issue.
Don't worry about not be able to connect on port 23 - it's a telnet port -
usually off for a security reasons. sshd is much better option if you
need remote login.
Anyway:
It may be sounds silly, but is postfix is actually running?
what can you see on
ps -ef | grep postfix
?
and
ps -ef | grep master
?
If nothing - then it's dead, therefore no SMTP processing.
Try to reload it:
/etc/init.d/postfix reload
or stop and start:
/etc/init.d/postfix stop
/etc/init.d/postfix start
Best regards,
Dennis.
