Hi Steve Another development... trying to eliminate the firewall as the problem... I have some 40 other servers all behind the firewall, including the offending postfix server. If I go to one of the TRUSTED servers and try to telnet to the postfix server on port 25 I get an immediate "connection refused". This must mean it's NOT the firewall that's the problem but rather something in the setup on the postfix server. Any other ideas folks? ;) I'm about to chuck it out and <gasp> put in a Windows server in its place! <chuckle> Only kidding!!
