Hi everyone; I've been trying to tweak sendmail on my Fedora Core 2
server so that I can receive mail sent from the Internet to my local
mail account of the server. I have the Submission service running on
Port 587 and I forward the port to the server from the router. When
trying to Telnet to the Port using the local IP address (192.168.1.100
587) it works fine, but when trying to use the public IP address, it
always says the connect times out. A port scan reveals that the port
is indeed open I suspect this is why I am not able to receive mail.
Any ideas why the Telnet attempt will not connect?


change port to 25.
