[gentoo-user] Re: Postfix Woes

[Erik Westenbroek]

no, I have a gentoo box and a windows box behind a router, and I don't
want anything to do with my ISP's mail.  I just mentioned the router
and windows box and all that good stuff to see if 192.168.1.0/24 was
right, because I don't really know how CIDR works.  I just fired up
mutt from my gentoo box, tried to send an email, and postfix gave me a
bunch of connection timed out to smtp.freeshell.org crap.  I can
recieve email just fine, I'll email root@××××××××××××××××××××.org, and
I log in and go into mutt and voila it is there, but I can't send
anything.
