Debian troubles

[lhatle]

I have gotten everything up to the telnet test done but system hangs when I try the localhost telnet. Have no idea where to go from here.

:~# telnet localhost 25
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.localdomain.
Escape character is '^]'.
220 divine1."mydomain".com ESMTP Postfix (Debian/GNU)


replaced mydomain for real domain.
tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:22 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 1036/sshd
tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:25 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 1024/master
tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:953 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 821/named

[till]

Please post the content of your /etc/postfix/main.cf file here.

You must type in ehlo localhost after you see 220 divine1."mydomain".com ESMTP Postfix (Debian/GNU)
Did you do that?

Falko was right I did not do the line. Ok so it is working. Thanks for pointing out the missing link :confused:
