connection failed to server from client
 

hi there,
i am using centos 5.5 server and windows xp as a client i have configured postfix on my server and every thing is working except server can not receive mails from a client i.e xp. express outlook gives the connection error on stmp but receiving mails from sever.there is something which is blocking ports on my server but i can not figure it out as i can telnet on port 25 on my server using "telnet server name 25" if any one can help me with this please.and also my firewall is disabled.

Hi, welcome to LQ!

Did you do the same test from windows?
If you did - are Windows or the server running firewalling?

On Linux, check "service iptables status".

hey thanks for your reply tinkster luckily i have fixed this problem it was a bit of changing in the postfix main.cf and now its working. and there is no firewall running on both machines.again thanks very much if i have any other problem i will get assistance again P tczz
