Sure worth a try, let me give it a go. > Craig: I comment out the 127.0.0.1 line in sendmail.mc as suggested, did a service sendmail restart I added a line in access for "Connect:192.168.2 RELAY" to match the format of the existing entries. All the other entries were Relay and so were all the online docs I could find. I did this on two machines (sender and receiver) I did a mail from one machine to another and got a "No route to host". I then did a service iptables stop and tried again ... got a "Connection refused" Netstat -an | grep 25 gives me the same output as your email shows. Iptables -L also gives me the same output. Either I missed something in your email(s) or I am back to the concern that "I am doing what I should do but something is blocking" ... which is what I am trying to sort out with the telnet test. If you need attachments / output from my system, let me know and I will forward. If I am taking up too much of your bandwidth I will understand if you bail on this. I feel like I might be in over my head (aka: dense) and I'm just not getting it Thanks, Paul ps: I hope there are no typos in this or my tests ... I double-checked but my track record isn't that good -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
