and then I can't do anything.  Even the escape characters, carrot and 
square-close-bracket don't exit that window.  

There's no mention of postfix when telnet to port 25, so...

Is this a problem with postfix?  I purged and then re-installed, so I 
don't see how.  Would some more netstat commands shed light on this?


thanks,

Thufir
