telneting Sendmail
Guys,
I just setup my first sendmail.
I can telnet SMTP and POP3 with in the linux RH 7.1 box by typing "telnet localhost 110". Seems lke they're working cause I can see "ok" in the line.However, I can't telnet the server outside of the network by typing "telnet xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx 25 or 110.
I don't know what's wrong.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

see if there are any useful messages in the log files such as /var/log/maillog
also use nmap to such like to scan the ports of the server form outside. you have set sendmail to be non-localhost only haven't you?
