Connection Refused

[Paul Franklin]

Thank you; amavis seems to be working now.  But mail still doesn't go 
thru. 
I have two different things I'm trying, neither of which will work.  I 
try, from another box on the local network, to send a message from one 
account on the kolab  server to another.  Doing that from Thunderbird, I 
get a message that "The message could not be sent because connecting to 
SMTP server 192.168.1.2 failed."  On the ubuntu box where kolab is 
running, I tried

telnet 127.0.0.1 25
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused

The other thing I'm trying to do is to download messages from my isp 
pop3 server using fetchmail.  Fetchmail seems to do ok when I issue the 
command at the prompt.  It logs in to the pop3 server, gets the 1 test 
message I have sent, and flushes it.  No error messages.  But then when 
I log in to my IMAP account on kolab, there are no new messages.
In my attempts to get fetchmail to download messages, I installed 
sendmail.  It seemed right at the time, but I think it is conflicting 
with postfix.  If I stop sendmail, however, fetchmail spews forth 
messages about being unable to manage the SMTP connection to localhost.
One other thing:  the postfix log file now has the following error messages:
. . .  warning:  not owned by root: /kolab/etc/postfix/[various files]
And before my latest fiddling,
. . . fatal: bind 0.0.0.0 port 25: Address already in use

Your readers, who with me have never seen any signs of sunshine before noon, and seldom regard the astronomical part of the almanac, will be as much astonished as I was, when they hear of his rising so early; and especially when I assure them, that he gives light as soon as he rises.
