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...

Could this /etc/inetd.conf entry be related to Mr. Lowe's problem? What
does "(will be restored by smail postinst)" mean?
