Tried telnetting on both 23 and 25 no luck.  That would at least prove the
networking was working as far as the application leayer (guess whose just
been on a cisco course!)

I did do postfix stop adn postfix start and postfix reload and check (which
didn't display anything) so I was presuming it was working

postfix 1402 1400 11:00 [qmgr]
postfix 2356 1400 16:01 [pickup]

Did all that and knmail mail client on the server set up to smtp to 25 on
192.168.100.168 (server ip) still comes back with an "unable to contact
server" error so it seems either SMTP isn't working on server (maybe postfix
config issue) or is blocked or not working (other linux issue).
