SMTP from external IP addresses (e.g. anything other than 127.0.0.1) is blocked by default by the Fedora firewall and I've not seen any mention of checking that in the thread. I'm assuming you are using the default firewall, FirewallD, rather than iptables? If so: "sudo firewall-cmd --get-services" will list supported services. SMTP should be on the list. "sudo firewall-cmd --zone=public --list-services" will list permitted services in the public zone. SMTP should also be on the list. "sudo firewall-cmd --zone=public --add-service=smtp" will temporarily add SMTP to the permitted services if not present above. "sudo firewall-cmd --permanent --zone=public --add-service=smtp" will make that change permanent (survive a reboot). If you are using iptables, then you can check the rules with: "sudo iptables --list-rules" You should have an entry that reads something like: "-A INPUT -p tcp -m tcp --dport 25 --tcp-flags SYN,RST,ACK SYN -j ACCEPT" If not, you can add it by editing the file "/etc/sysconfig/iptables", adding the line above to the INPUT chain, then reloading the rules with the command "sudo iptables-restore < /etc/sysconfig/iptables".
