I have just set up a new freeBSD6.2 system which should be fully capable of sending and receiving mail via sendmail. The processes are all running. It acts like inetd.conf has the ports closed, but there aren't any specifically for smtp. /etc/services has smtp ports listed and all open like they should be. If you telnet to port 25 either from another system or from the localhost, the "connection refused" message is immediate and no log entries in maillog are generated. The only entries being generated at all are routine messages when the queue starts and messages that say that a given message is deferred due to not being able to be delivered so it appears to be stuck both directions. Any suggestions on what else to look at? Thank you. Martin McCormick WB5AGZ Stillwater, OK Systems Engineer OSU Information Technology Department Network Operations Group
