Problems with port 25

[yogiman]

Hi Everyone,

I hope someone can help.

I have suse 10

I have installed Zimbra, and all seem to go well except during the install it said that something was using port 25

when I login to the admin mail account and try to send an email out of the building I get the following error:

If anyone can put their undies on the outside of their trousers and come to my aid, I would really appreciate it, although my Louis Lane impersonation is appalling!

Thanks

Find out what was running on port 25 and shut it down.

zmcontrol status - is the mta running? If not, start it.

Try sending again, check /var/log/zimbra.log for postfix errors.

Thanks for the advice, but this is my 1st setup like this, so my next question is how do I find out what is running on port 25 I tried to telnet it and see if it replied but it did not.

Thanks in advance! (sorry don't mean to be a thickie, I was born this way).

Hi again

OK well I took the plunge and did a port scan on that server and the returning values say nothing is running on port 25

Don't know what next?

Regards

Yogiman!

[yogiman]

OK

I can find nothing reporting on port 25

I checked the log and it says non specified error.

MTA failed to start.

Cheers

su - zimbra
postfix stop
postfix start
tail -100 /var/log/zimbra.log

Post that.

[yogiman]

Marcmac

before I do I did : zmcontrol status

and it returns command not found

How can this be when I can browse to the zimbea log in and view.

Yogiman

[yogiman]

Ok

I have done that, please see attachment!

Something is running on port 25:

Feb 22 00:16:00 mail postfix/master[17677]: fatal: bind 0.0.0.0 port 25: Address already in use

I appreciate what you are saying. Obviously you are correct.

However I have checked the services to see what is running and the only thing remotely that could be using 25 seems to be postfix.

I have telneted port 25 and it comes back dead.

The port scan says it is clear.

I guess I will have to start from scratch (Again)!

Thank you for your time and patience.
