I am utterly stumped....
The ESMTP server accepts mail from all domains for delivery to local users but won't relay mail at all. Any attempt to connect to the ESMTP server @ 127.0.0.1 is refused. The quirky thing however is that if I use the FQND of the server or the interface IP address I can access the ESMTP server and it will relay. Since it appears that scalix uses the 127.0.0.1 address to relay mail it means my mail will not go out. I scanned the forums and checked the smtpd.cfg file , and it is set to allow relay from 127.0.0.1, checked my iptables and it also does not appear to prevent me from connecting to 127.0.0.1. Can someone tell me what else I should check?
The sever is a pretty fresh install on a Fedora core 4 machine.
