Re: [LUG] Help with Sendmail

[Rick Timmis <rick@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Andrew

Yep that fixed that bit, I am unable to connect now from the outside. Here's 
the thing I am trying to bring the mail in through smoothwall. I have set 
Port forwarding to point all traffic destined for port 25 to point to the 
Mail Server. I have also allowed External Access on port 25 to this server 
only.

When my colleague tries to connect ( Telnet ) He gets Escape character is, and 
then connection closed.

Basically he is trying Telnet Open supetramp.co.uk smtp 

Any ideas, Is this incorrect firewall config ??
