qmail problems

[Gro$$]

Hey,
I've searched around and havn't found any answer as of yet to my problem. I have setup qmail on a Debain (woody) box running custom built 2.6.6 kernel. I included the iptables stuff in the kernel build since I am going to be running iptables. I tried to send myself a test email and it got kicked back with the error message: "server dropped connection". I tried to telnet to localhost on port 25 and got kicked. Thinking it was iptables related I ran the following as root:

$ iptables -t filter -A INPUT -p tcp -s 110 -d 25 -j ACCEPT

I still am unable to telnet in or send email to myself. Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

I've moved this to the Networking forum in hopes one of our network experts will be able to help.

iptables -t filter -A INPUT -p tcp -s 110 -d 25 -j ACCEPT

Aren't -s and -d for addresses, not ports? Try --dport instead. It also doesn't make sense to try and specify a source port.

Or did you munge your command for posting?

Good Luck,
