Setting up mail



Hi!
 
I have tried to setup qmail on a new server but get errors when retrieving or sending email via outlook express in Windows (via a workstation).  It gives "cannot open socket" on both SMTP and POP.  Anyone know which files to change or where to look for info?
 
I had tried backing up the old server running debian 1.3 and doing a tar cvfp and then restoring it on a new machine (installed debian 1.3 first).   Everything worked fine (ie. web browsing / hosting / DNS) except the qmail problem, although I could send email via elq but could not retrieve new messages.  I tried to telnet into the machine using the SMTP port, but could not.  On the old machine, I could log in and noticed that a qmail "popper" came up when checking the processes, but am still stumped!!
 
I am attempting to upgrade ultimately to debian 2.2, but want to do this on another hard drive, hence the backup / restore.
 
Regards,
 
Rob..
