Why would they do that? Absolutely! They could. Because they don't want you running a mail server. Usually the reason is because they don't want to risk you setting up sendmail in such a way so that it will be an open relay, and people use it (them - effectively the ISP) to send spam. My ISP blocks port 80, because they don't want me running a web server. (So, of course I just run it on port 8080. Dummies...) BUT, that being said, I thought you said you could connect from OUTSIDE of you LAN. Didn't you say you could telnet port 25 from outside? On a remote machine on another ISP? But could NOT connect from the LAN? > > Can I forward the email over another port? How do you do that (a pointer to a > howto url would be great)? Yes, and someone on this list, or the redhat-install list is doing that, for that reason. Port 30 I think. May want to ask there. But before you go to all that trouble, you should make sure port 25 is being blocked. Try running nmap on it from outside and see what ports are open. > > > > -- > Psyche-list mailing list > Psyche-list@redhat.com > https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list > -- Jay Crews jpc@jaycrews.com -- Psyche-list mailing list Psyche-list@redhat.com https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list
