connection refused for postfix - cant download mail


I have a fedora core3 mail server running postfix. Each time users try to pop mail it says no new mail. The logs are showing:

"relay=none, delay=0, status=deferred (connect to 127.0.0.1[127.0.0.1]: Connection refused)"

What could be the problem? Please help I cant seem to find any help.

Sounds like you haven't defined mynetworks in /etc/postfix/main.cf and it is using the default setting of localhost (127.0.0.1) connections only. You need to define the range of network addresses that you will allow connections from. If your users are using network addresses in the range 192.168.0.0/24 then this needs to be defined here.

In its default, postfix should be working already.

Try to "telnet localhost 25" and see what it should respond.

There maybe other related error so post what you can from its logs.
