Yes, the servicves are running (verified by ps, sockstat, and telnetting to the applicable ports while _inside_ my LAN). The only 'firewall' running is NAT on a Cisco 2500-series router, but the NAT entry for the mailserver is static, one-to-one. I want (and I could do this before the move) to connect to the mailserver from any given machine anywhere on the Net.

Are they also listening at the nic? Can you connect on the localhost to sendmail? Is an ipfilter or firewall effective?

Do you want to connect from a host behind the NAT router to a host that's located outside? -Hanspeter ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ "Nonchalantly," said the poet, "For if you wear your gravity, you'll have nothing left to show." _________________________________________________________________ Join the world’s largest e-mail service with MSN Hotmail. http://www.hotmail.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
