hi,
I had set up postfix on fedora 15, one problem:
telnet localhost 25 works
but
telnet 192.168.1.2 25 does not work
but dovecot responds to: telnet 192.168.1.2 110
any clues?
selinux is disabled, and the problem persists even if the firewall is
shut down.
Kenneth,
I have been using Postfix for a while now.
And I have never run into this issue.
Postfix may take time to respond.
What does 'does not work' mean?
Connection refused or hang?
Both are different.
Connection refused means that Postfix is not listening(TCP RST) and
hang means that it is slow.
Localhost is an alias for 127.0.0.1.
Try editing /etc/postfix/main.cf and look at the mynetworks parameter.
Try adding 192.168.0.0/16 to it.
Dovecot has nothing to do with postfix. It is used for IMAP and POP3 whereas
Postfix is SMTP server(MTA).
