<p class="MsoNormal">Initially, postfix is configured so it won't accept SMTP connections from off the box. So outbound emails will get sent OK, but incoming emails will not get delivered to the Xymon server.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Test this by attempting to telnet to the Xymon server on port 25 from another device, such as a Windows PC, with "telnet
<a href="http://xymon.server.name" target="_blank">xymon.server.name</a> 25". If you get a "connection refused" or similar message, than you need to reconfigure Postfix to accept remote connections.<o:p></o:p></p>
