# Subject: [ale] exim or bastille problem...
# 
# Setting up a new mail server using Exim. I always use 
# Bastille to harden my servers, and am quite familiar with its 
# firewall config and I know it's allowing port 25. A quick 
# glance at my currently running iptables shows that traffic to 
# port 25 should be allowed.  
# 
# And yet, I can't telnet to the port. I'm running exim as a 
# daemon.  I'm not seeing anything in my logs except that exim 
# 
# refused connection from {hostname} [IP] () 
# 
# Over and over again. What could be up with this?  xinetd is 
# not running that I can see, it's certainly not set to run at 
# this runlevel and doesn't mention smtp anyway. This is Fedora 
# Core 3, if that helps. What else could be blocking email in 
# such a way?  
# 
# Thanks

# with propaganda and deliberate falsehoods, and you destroy 
# his whole reasoning processes, and make him something less than a man.
