My mail system seems to be working since the upgrade to hamm/frozen. However, I just tried "telnet localhost 25" and got "connection refused". I had noticed after the upgrade that /etc/inetd.conf had this line (note the "#"): # smtp stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/sbin/in.smtpd (will be restored by smail postinst) When I uncommented the line, "telnet localhost 25" now gives: Trying 127.0.0.1...
