I'm running Mandrake 9.2 as an EMAIL, FTP, WEB server for an online gaming Clan. I thought everything was working correctly, BUT, it seems that email isnt. Whenever I try to use Outlook to connect, it always times out when trying to send mail. Also, any email sent to an adderess disappears. I never recieve an undeliverable message, and i never get my email...

Any help would be appreciated... I kinda need this fixed, I'll even give IP's and ssh access to get it looked at.

I can be contacted through AIM at JSylvia007 for "realtime" help, and will post the entire conversation and actions taken once the problem is fixed

have you checked the log files? what mta are you using? what are you using to retrieve mail? pop? imap? etc.. etc.. did you install pop/imap?

From what i can tell, BOTH postfix and Sendmail are running.... if thats even possible... I am using Outlook2003 to retrieve the mail, POP3, and as far as I can tell all the necissary daemons are running... Mdk 9.2 comes with a default install of WebMin, so i logged into that, and went to the mail queue,and there were 52 emails, but none of them were "recieved" from the outside, they were all system emails, ie: from root to root...

problem fixed... seems that BOTH MTA's were running at once, stopped postfix, started sendmail, all is well
