Connection Refused

[Paul Franklin]

Thank you.  Success at last! I have done

# /etc/init.d/fetchmail stop
Stopping Mail Transport Agent: sendmail
# /kolab/bin/openpkg rc postfix restart
openPKG: restart: postfix
# telnet 127.0.0.1 25
trying 127.0.0.1...
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused
#ps ax | grep postfix
    678 tty3   S+   0:00 grep postfix

I suspected therefore that for some reason postfix decided not to run 
after all.  So I did

# apt-get remove sendmail and rebooted. 
[responses that seemed to indicate successful removal]
reboot

It still loaded sendmail.  apt-get remove sendmail claims that it cannot 
be removed because it was already.  So I changed the permissions of 
sendmail in /etc/init.d so that it is non-executable.  Not the right 
way, I know, but it stopped sendmail from loading.  Now Kolab works.

Thank you very much for your help, Alain.
