[Jeremy McSpadden]

Stop iptables and make sure you can telnet in. then work from there. yes the network configuration is different.

The host setup shouldn't matter. Are you able to telnet into the xen vm on port 25? have you disabled iptables or allowed port 25 through ? Verify you have connectivity from the outside first, then start working back on your config files.

I've tried installing Centos 6.1 on a 5.7 xen host. I'm having a little trouble getting sendmail to work, and I'm not sure why. Could be the way the network NIC is configured, the fact that I'm running 6.1 under a 5.7 host, or who knows, but the server isn't accepting mail at all, even after changing the line in the .mc file to accept mail from hosts other than localhost and rebuilding the .cf file.

The new GUI for the Centos 6 installation seems to be somewhat confusing when it comes to asking what type of installation I would like (types being things like SQL server, web server etc.)

I'm going to try the new 6.2 DVDs, but wonder what type of installation others have chosen since I'm sure there's something closer than the Workstation type I chose.

Thanks and sorry for OT

I originally tried just sending mail to the server, and got a bounce. I then tried telnet, and it too failed. The network setup in 6.1, as I recall, is nothing like the previous versions of Centos. I eventually installed Webmin and was surprised at how the NIC was configured from the install when I went to modify it. I could get to the internet, but sendmail didn't seem to be accepting mail. "ps ax" showed it running though.

Thanks
