can recieve email in using Qmail

[mcraul]

Hi,

I just did a fresh install of Qmail and I can send out email no problem but I cant recieve any email.
No locally I can telnet into port 110

but locally i cant telnet into port 25 outside the network I can not telnet into 110 or 25

I did notice that port 25 is not being listened to

could it be an iptables or firewall thing?

looks like nothing is listening on 25 or am i wrong?

My guess is that you didn't uninstall sendmail/postfix before installing qmail.
