MTA says it starts, but doesn't stay running

[pksings]

Found it...ASSP mail filter.

Wow, I'm completely stumped on this one.. I can't find a log entry anywhere that tells me what's wrong. This is on Ubuntu, after removing exim, postfix, courier pop and imap and authdaemon.

Is there any chance there's already another MTA bound to port 25?

[pksings]

I removed postfix completely, exim before I installed postfix, hula used postfix. I had been runnning postfix for a few months. I removed it via synaptic and then renamed /etc/postfix/ . A telnet to localhost:25 gets no response at all.

Any other tests I can run to tell?

Do me a favor just for kicks.

Run a:
which postfix

and post the results.

Thanks

The ASSP service was running on port 25. It's not anymore. I removed everything, rebooted and re-installed. Now it runs just fine. Doesn't seem to accept mail, but it is at least running.

Thanks everyone.
