telnet to smtp port is refused

[Mark E. Donaldson]

 It looks like tcpwrappers is blocking your connection. You may need to add
an entry to your hosts.allow file to permit smtp connections. The "sendmail
rpm binary" in the SUSE Linux distribution is compiled with libwrap, or
support for tcpwrappers.

What I saw is that when I start Mailscannner (and Sendmail) the smtp port is
closed. And when I sart only sendmail smtp port is listening.
Check this logs...


This is when Sendmail is started alone:
============================================

mailserver:~ # telnet localhost 25
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
220 puntos.org.ni ESMTP Sendmail 8.12.6/8.12.6/SuSE Linux 0.6; Thu, 3 Jun
2004 11:49:38 +0600 ^]
telnet>
quit
221 2.0.0 puntos.org.ni closing connection Connection closed by foreign
host.

mailserver:~ # telnet mailserver.puntos.org.ni 25 Trying 200.85.166.76...
Connected to mailserver.puntos.org.ni.
Escape character is '^]'.
220 puntos.org.ni ESMTP Sendmail 8.12.6/8.12.6/SuSE Linux 0.6; Thu, 3 Jun
2004 11:49:56 +0600 ^]
telnet>
quit
221 2.0.0 puntos.org.ni closing connection Connection closed by foreign
host.


As you can see... Everything is Ok. But when I start Mailsecanner:
========================================================================

mailserver:~ # rcMailScanner start
Initializing incoming sendmail
done
Initializing outgoing sendmail
done
Initializing MailScanner

mailserver:~ # telnet localhost 25
Trying 127.0.0.1...

telnet>
quit
221 2.0.0 puntos.org.ni closing connection Connection closed by foreign
host.

mailserver:~ # telnet mailserver.puntos.org.ni 25 Trying 200.85.166.76...
telnet: connect to address 200.85.166.76: Connection refused Trying
192.168.0.1...
telnet: connect to address 192.168.0.1: Connection refused


========================================

Thanks for any help.

You check if the port is open inbound and outbound ? You can telnet smtp
port 
by localhost ? Are you sure that sendmail works ok ?
I never saw any problem with MS and Ports....
