Connection refused to port 25 and 587 but sendmail listening on those ports.
Hi, I am new to this forum, and new to Linux, I have been working with it for ten months and I am a big fan now.
I have recently installed a set of virtualized servers with XenServer 5.5 that have one purpose only and that is sending emails.
I have a central server whith Fedora 12 x86_64 that relays email to other servers ,that have minimal config, through a virtual interface created with Xen that works as a LAN.
I have 3 CentOS 5.4 servers working fine in this setup and now I am trying out TurnKey Linux Core, just because its a Linux that has nothing on it, and that way I can use less memory.
The problem is I cant seem to connect to port 25 or 587.
The machine has shorewall installed and I am logging all traffic through the local interface and it shows the telnet request getting there.
Doing a netstat shows sendmail listening on port 25 and 587.
I really dont understand what can be wrong.
Any help would be great.
Thanks in advance.
