| Hi,
| 
| I have installed FreeBSD 5.2 and I am trying to get to access mail from  
| the outside world. But when I do a telnet to port 25 I get this error,
| 
| telnet mail.eatme.com
| trying xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

telnet mail.eatme.com 25

| 
| telnet: connect to address xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx: Connection refused
| 
| where do I need to go to tell my server it ok to access mail.
| 
| Payne
| 
| 
| Please note that eatme.com and xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx are flake to protect the 
| real server.
