telnet problems with Perfect Server Setup

[Big_Blue_Ken]

I have been following the Perfect Server Setup for Ubuntu 8.04, but I am not able to get a response from telnet. The only response that I receive is as follows:

telnet localhost 25
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.


Then it just sits there. I never get the following line so I can type in 'ehlo localhost'

220 AOP1.AOPserver.com ESMTP Postfix (Ubuntu)

And when I mean that it just sits there, I left it alone for over 5 hours and never received a response on it.

Anyone got an idea on what's happening?

Look at the mail log file you should see errors there.

Um ... know idea what any of this means, but here is what I found:

Feb 4 01:32:02 AOP1 postfix/smtpd[7892]: warning: SASL per-process initialization failed: generic failure
Feb 4 01:32:02 AOP1 postfix/smtpd[7892]: fatal: SASL per-process initialization failed

There is a problem is the SASL system check syslog to see what error sasl is reporting.

The syslog just shows the same error over and over again. How far back should I look in syslog?

take a look at this http://www.howtoforge.com/forums/sho...d.php?p=138525

I think you have typo's in your configuration.
