I'm using Linux Redhat 7.1 KDE.I'm facing difficulties to enable my SMTP service.
When I tried to telnet 25 at the command prompt the message display
"Telnet:Unable to connect to remote host:connection refused"
It's the same casefor http(80) and ftp(21) but there is no problem with Pop3(110).
I had even tried to used lokkit to enable the selected firewall option but the outcome still the
same.
Pls advise,these services is not running.

Hello. Possibly you are running ipchain rules which blocks access. Try flushing those rules with an: ipchains -f
If that allows access, then you know what needs fixing. I have similar problem (see my post in linux admin regarding ipchains blocking pop3). I will try the suggested fix tonight.
Good luck.
