[ILUG] Fedora Core: No Incoming smtp mail!!!

[John Moylan]

What does a netstat -tanp tell you?

Anything in your log -files

Are you sure the firewall is turned off - if you are using iptables,
then what does iptables --list tell you?

Are you using a local server such as postfix for mail for just a client
attaching to pop/imap? Have you got anything in hosts.deny, hosts.allow?
