Enable smtp mail server



Hi,

Why my postfix smtp server is not receiving connections?

$ telnet localhost 25
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
Connection closed by foreign host.

How can I enable it?

Details:

I installed my postfix using the option "Internet site using smarthost".
the postfix server is up and running:

root 31693 1 0 23:26 ? 00:00:00 /usr/lib/postfix/master
postfix 31695 31693 0 23:26 ? 00:00:00 pickup -l -t fifo -u -c
postfix 31696 31693 0 23:26 ? 00:00:00 qmgr -l -t fifo -u -c

please help.

thanks
