Hi,
I'm trying to set up a Postfix SMTP server on my machine (FreeBSD 4.11). I
read the cheat notes here <http://www.mostgraveconcern.com/freebsd/mail.html>
and I can get Postfix running. However, when I try to telnet in or connect
with Mozilla Thunderbird nothing happens.
Here is an example:
tom at killdozer$ telnet 127.0.0.1 25
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.angrycoder.org.
Escape character is '^]'.
[some time goes by here...]
[I get angry and mash the escape character like a monkey] ^]
telnet> quit
Connection closed.
Here is some [hopefully!] useful info:
tom at killdozer$ ps auxw | grep post

Thank you in advance for any help FreeBSD Gurus!
