Interestingly, I've been running postfix for years, and have never actually had to use the "inet_interfaces" option. I believe that if you don't bother to specify an "inet_interfaces" option line, it listens on all interfaces. He also might need to check his firewall configuration, to make sure that the system is set to accept connections on port 25. -- Mike Burger http://www.bubbanfriends.org Visit the Dog Pound II BBS telnet://dogpound2.citadel.org or http://dogpound2.citadel.org:2000 To be notified of updates to the web site, visit http://www.bubbanfriends.org/mailman/listinfo/site-update, or send a message to: site-update-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx with a message of: subscribe
