Install and set-up was a breeze. I even got the Apache server and Proftpd
installed and running with minimal effort. (I did however attempt an
install of Pureftp and the Gui front end (I forget the name now) which did
not go all that great, once I installed the gui I was unable to find out how
to launch it?? But now that I have Proftpd up and running I would like to
remove Pureftpd and the gui from my system, how would I do this?
if you installed Pureftpd and gui using rpm packages , it's only a
matter of running rpm -e packagename .
A couple hours later and I finally managed to get a response from the telnet
connection both through {# telnet localhost 25} as well as { telnet LAN IP
25} from another machine on my home network. However when I tried {telnet
mydomain.com 25} from another machine on the network I received a connection
refused. Please excuse my ignorance but, is this working as it should?
Refusing outside access to my smtp server or is this an indication that my
ISP is filtering traffic to port 25? Also now when I send mail to
usr@xxxxxxxxxxxx it doesn't get returned to the sender but it also hasn't
shown up in the usr inbox either? Is this a sign that my ISP is working
against me? Do you all know of a way I can tell if my ISP is the problem?
If so can I set up the MX record to send mail to port other than 25 say
10001 and then forward port 10001 through my router to port 25 on the linux
box?
First , you have to ensure that mydomain.com is pointing to the machine
running postfix. If it does , and a telnet mydomain.com 25 fails ,
probably your ISP is blocking you. If telnet LAN IP 25 works , it really
is the ISP.. You can try to convince them to open port 25 , but it's
very though...
Another one when I shut down Fedora and it runs down all the shutdown
procedures they all show [OK] except:
...
Shutting down system mouse services (something to that effect)
....[FAILED]
...
IS this something I need to be concerned about?
Probably the same that happens here with me: gpm fails to start.. then ,
when you try to stop it during shutdown, it fails to stop (because it
wasn't running at all)... When booting , keep an eye on the service
starting (choose to see the details during boot) and probably you'll see
gpm failing to start...
