Hi folks. On Monday I successfully installed Red Hat 7.2 kernel 2.4.9-21. Initially I had problems with the ethernet cards, particularly getting the modules to load, however; with some help from Bill Acker and a bit of creative thinking on my own part all the hardware inside the box is up and running. Nevertheless, I do have one small problem. I use cable internet to connect to the internet and as my machine's always on I figured I would configure my machine so I could send and receive mail using it, when the machine starts eth0 is configured to use my isp's dhcp server and I can send out mail directly using the machine, however; the box can't receive mail. The error I get when I try to send mail to my machine is: connection refused. If anyone wishes to do any experimenting involving sendming mail to the machine its ip is 209.128.49.233 hostname anomaly.homeip.net and you can address testing messages to either ebarnes or root. the thing I don't get is why sendmail isn't listening on port 25. I read the linux howto for mail admins located at the ldp internet site www.linuxdoc.org and found it very unhelpful though I must say that this is the exception rather than the rule. Normally I get alot of info from reading the docs at the ldp site, especially the howto docs. I'd appreciate any suggestions if anyone has anything to offer, also, in regard to this help, is their a configuration file I could view and possibly edit to aleviate my difficulties. Thanks, feel free to reply on list or write to me directly at ed.barnes at janus.northatlantic.nf.ca. Regards to all. Ed
