Are you sure your tcp stack is loaded and running properly. I believe that "61 Connection refused" is a problem communicating with your IP stack (and not the MTA). Could your server be under load, or the IP stack be flooded with requests?

If all that is fine then be sure that you have su'ed as user mailman before doing any testing (like telnet 172.0.0.1 25).

This should check your local firewall to make sure that you allow connections on port 25 from all interfaces including 127.0.0.1, and it should check that your MTA is listening on the localhost interface.

Check your /etc/mail/access file and make sure that localhost and 127.0.0.1 are setup to allow relaying. Your machine probably has a name, add that name to the access file and set it to allow relaying.

Good Luck -- Jon Carnes

Hello People This is what I did, I configured my mailman and sendmail. The messages are only being sent to the users in a digested format. No one is receiving the individual emails being sent out. When I check the mailq it says there is nothing pending. But on the other hand I can go the archives on the http interface and check the individual messages. Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong here. I am pulling my hair out here. Thanks Newbie
