Hi
 I have shorewall/iptables running on my server (pub) but access to localhost is
blocked then I attemp to use ping localhost, telnet localhost 25, echo Hello |
sendmail -v root@localhost.   All these commands were run after using shorewall
reset and creating the attached file.  All these commands work with shorewall
clear.

 My problem is I can''t email the root messages from (pub) to (nor)
where they are forwarded on to my mail accounts at my isp.  Any attempt to send
mail is met with "Connection timed out with [127.0.0.1]".
Something has change possibly as my fault during changing the smart host to
(nor) from another computer.


Thank you
