is any email program running? run: netstat -pant|grep ":25"|grep LISTEN to see if any program is listening... output should look like: tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:25 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 21493/sendmail guess it'll say 'postfix' or 'master' instead of 'sendmail' on RH6. _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@xxxxxxxxxx http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
