telnet: connect to address ::1: Connection refused

Hi!

I've configured vqadmin & qmailadmin on CentOS6. When I try to check smtp port with telnet command then the following is hapen.

[root@proxy ~]# telnet localhost 25
Trying ::1...
telnet: connect to address ::1: Connection refused
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
Connection closed by foreign host.
[root@proxy ~]#

My selinux is disabled & firewall is off. I'd love to get help from any corner.

Thank you,
Kahafil Ora

Looks like your telnet client starts by trying IPv6 localhost address first and IPv4 localhost afterwards. I'd take a look at /etc/hosts file and localhost aliases there. Or maybe

Code:

dig localhost

?
