I know this is a "generic" question, but fully CentOS related. I attempted to set up i386 v.4.1 on my primary computer at the co-located site, and thought I had everything squared away till I discovered the machine was refusing mail connections. AFIK, I had no firewall or other objects blocking port 25. It has been my experience that with most arch's and versions where sendmail is the stock mta, they always seem to work out of the box with no tweaking at all.
I have got to get this set up but will do it on a test machine rather than the production machine. Between that prblem and the changes between bind 8 and 9, I was dead in the water from the outset. Back online with the BSD machine for the time being.
Any reason why mail connections would be refused ? (yes sendmail was running too)
Thanks..

Mike,
I did that too.. because I also need the port 587 opened up due to knology blocking port 25. I'm "pretty sure" I uncommented the part about listening on 25, but will have to double check. I automatically assumed it was some type of other function blocking (refusing connects)
Thanks...
