Hi guys. I've been playing around with Linux lightly for about a year now. Just installing Ubuntu to use as my new mail server following this tut http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect-server-ubuntu8.04-lts
However, when i get to checking the response of SMTP i am not getting a response. When i telnet in (telnet localhost 25) i just get
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
No 220 response, even when i type in a ehlo command. It works fine on port 110
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
+OK Dovecot ready.
This is the only info i get on a netstat of smtp
root@mailserver:~# netstat -l | grep smtp
tcp 0 0 *:smtp *:* LISTEN
tcp6 0 0 [::]:smtp [::]:* LISTEN
unix 2 [ ACC ] STREAM LISTENING 18460 private/smtp
unix 2 [ ACC ] STREAM LISTENING 18516 private/bsmtp
root@mailserver:~#
I have seen plenty of problems with this around the forums but nothing that looks like it could fix mine. I have gone through my 'main.cf' and 'master.cf' and it looks as it should. I can post if it helps.
Thanks guys.
