  It seems that your fingerd isn't running. Look at /etc/inetd.conf and make
sure you have an uncommented line like this:
 
  finger	stream	tcp 	nowait	nobody	/usr/sbin/fingerd fingerd

  You have to configure your DNS and Sendmail to receive mails from the
internet. Make sure you have the following in your zone file:

  rilv.net.il.	IN	A		xxx.yyy.zzz.www
		IN	MX 	0	your_mail_relay.rilv.net.il.
 

  In /etc/sendmail.cf, make sure you have configured the Dw, DD and Cw macros.

  In Cw, you must include rilv.net.il, in Dw your hostname and in DD your
domainname.

  I think this will solve your problems.
