Ubuntu Server Firewall not opening port

Wnt2bsleepin · 11-03-2013, 12:40 AM

I am trying to open port 25 using ufw, and but the port remains closed. I am able to telnet to the Postfix server locally, but cannot do it from my computer. I also ran a scan and port 25 did not show up as an active port.

Code:

PORT    STATE SERVICE
22/tcp  open  ssh
80/tcp  open  http
443/tcp open  https

Any help is much appreciated.

So what command did you try using? Please explain your steps otherwise it takes longer to resolve issues, because right now it would be a stab in te dark with a typical response like read the manual and run the command properly checking for spelling mistakes

Code:

sudo ufw allow 25

I added it using

Code:

sudo ufw allow 25

It verifies that the rules are already in there.

Here is the output of

Can you see the rule mentioning the port specifically in the iptables configuration file?

ericson007 · 11-08-2013, 01:53 AM

Maybe also just try to ensure that traffic can actually get out.

Code:

sudo ufw allow out 25

Then try

Code:

telnet ip.add.of.server 25

Is postfix listening on that interface?
