can not telnet localhost 25 but telnet dowell.exper.dynserv.com 25
 

my Sendmail server can not send and receive mail
I login as root
I try send mail at shell

# mail dowell@exper.dynserv.com
Subject: test
Test email at shell
.
cc: root@exper.dynserv.com

I think the mail has been sent out.
I setting dowell@exper.dynserv.com in Mozilla mail
my Mozilla says there is no message on server :confused: :confused:
after that I use Mozilla to send test mail, but Mozilla always ask me password, i'm sure I enter correct password¡£so I click cancel input password button.. I get one error message£º
Sendmail of message failed
The message could not be sent because connecting to SMTP server 192.168.1.5 failed. The server
May be unavailable or refusing SMTP connections, Please verify that your SMTP server setting is
Correct and try again or else contact your network administrator.

I don't know what's matter on my box.
