running exim mail server

[dave morton]

Hi all:

I am trying to set up a mail server for internet access.

Debian, exim 3.35 (woody)

My firewall rule for port 25:        iptables -A INPUT -j ACCEPT -p  tcp 
--dport 25

I can retrieve mail remotely from the pop server, but I can't send from 
outside hosts.

Typing  'telnet mycompany.com 25'  on a remote computer causes a 
'connection refused' response
Typing  'telnet mycompany.com 25' on the local server allows the connection 
ready for transmit/receive

I have configured eximconfig by answering option #1 (mail service for 
internet use)
