I've royally fvcked up qmail on my server. I can't send/recieve any email.

I was trying to change the SMTP port so i could access my SMTP server (my isp blocked port 25)

All I did was

vi /etc/services

and changed
smtp 25/tcp mail
smtp 25/udp mail

to

smtp 587/tcp mail
smtp 587/udp mail


Now everythings all screwed. I changed it back to 25, and it still doesnt work.

Before, I was atleast able to send/recieve mail through Horde, and recieve mail through my email client, but now nothing works.

Help

Did you try rebooting or restarting the server?

Did you open up port 587 in the firewall?

These are just guesses as I've never ran a mail server on any of my boxes. What distro?

Yup, tried both.

Its Linux not Windows. You don't have to reboot the server. Just restart the appropriate process.

If he hadn't know how to restart the server manually, then restarting the system would have done it for him. BTW, when I said server I was refering to the SMTP server process, not the machine.

Hmm, sometimes daemons have helper deamons that might need to be restarted too.

Well, I figured out what the problem is, just not how to fix it.

The server isn't listening on port 25 anymore for SMTP. Even after rebooting, how do I go about making it listen again.
