can’t telnet to smtp

by luie . Updated 23 years, 3 months ago

I’m building a mail server and I’m currently stuck with a problem in smtp.
when I try “telnet localhost 25” on my mail server, to test if smtp is working, it just exits.
1) how do I check if smtp is blocked or being used by another service?
2) how do I configure smtp to use another port?
3) where do I look to see which port a service is using?
