Hi William/All,
yes, you hit the nail on the head with that one.
I now can see the email sent to 'root(a)exoco.net' and have now progressed to
writing a procmail script. I should be satisfied with my new server soon...
Thanks to all who contributed to this (lengthy) network tutorial.
Cheers,
Max

Why does
% telnet

from an external machine not work (it hangs), while it does function at the
local?
What am I missing??
You're missing the fact that you appear to be connecting via Uni of Soton's
resnet network, who block tcp/25 outbound and recommend you use smtp.soton.ac.uk
for sending mail instead. Best to do testing from outwith a
traffic-managed/filtered network.
