pop3/smtp server setup questions
I was following the how to for setting up a secure relay email server.
I got to the part about using netstat to see that my services are running, and this what I see: Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address State PID/Program name tcp 0 0 localhost.localdoma:ipp localhost.localdo:32772 ESTABLISHED 928/cupsd tcp 0 0 localhost.localdo:32772 localhost.localdoma:ipp ESTABLISHED 1382/eggcups this doesn't look anything like what it shows in the How To. What have I done wrong? and what is eggcups and cupsd? Have I missed a big step somewhere before I should be trying to start an email server? I'm not sure what info is needed to figure this out, but here goes: Operating system is RH Linux ES 3 Server is on a LAN with NAT from the router to the server's LAN IP I have a static IP which I will be having a domain name registered to later Webmin 1.50 used on server as well My Linux experience is virtually nil, with the exception of running a Half-life server in the past. But I'm doing my best to figure this out. |
cups is a printer daemon that connects to your printer to print stuff.
try typing "service sendmail start" as root, then "telnet localhost 25" to see if it is running your mail server. |
I don't think you used netstat correctly. On a default install there will be many more ports than that bound. I think the netstat output has been piped to grep and it's looking for only established connections.
Try this: netstat -anA inet |
