<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
I'm trying to send email from my Fedora-20/KDE laptop "rose"<br>
to my CentOS-6.5 local home server "grover"<br>
(in order to run a SpamAssassin test),<br>
but I am finding this surprisingly difficult.<br>
<br>
I've tried with KMail and mail,<br>
sending email to "tim@grover", "tim@grover.localdomain",<br>
and various other combinations, but all fail with "recipient rejected".<br>
And telnet gives<br>
[tim@rose ~]$ telnet 192.168.2.5 25<br>
Trying 192.168.2.5...<br>
telnet: connect to address <a href="http://192.168.2.5" target="_blank">192.168.2.5</a>: Connection refused<br>
<br>
Is there a setting I could change, or is the exercise hopeless?<br>

Are you certain that grover is running an MTA and that it's listening<br>
to anything other than 127.0.0.1? Easiest way to find out:<br>
<br>
# netstat -lpnt | grep :25<br>
<br>
If you only see something like:<br>
<br>
tcp 0 0 <a href="http://127.0.0.1:25" target="_blank">127.0.0.1:25</a> ...<br>
<br>
then it's running, but won't accept incoming mail from the outside<br>
world. You'll need to bugger the config to make it listen to an<br>
additional IP. How you do that depends on if it's sendmail or postfix.<br>
<br>
If you don't see a line like that at all, then your MTA isn't even<br>
running.<br>
