Hi - I've got a FreeBSD machine from which I can use 'Mail' to send
emails to any internet email address. However when I try to use it as a
SMTP server from within the LAN the connection times out.

I'm sure there are many places I could look for a solution but I just
wanted to check one thing. If I can use 'Mail' to send emails does this
imply that the FreeBSD box is running a SMTP server which could send mail
on behalf of clients (within the LAN)?

Thanks

Richard Shea.
