> 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?
