Ok, that makes sense. Thanks.

Yes, that is what I did.


The problem I'm having with both methods above (xinetd or command-line)
is that my mail client is giving me the oh-so-enlightening message that
it "cannot send message". Uhhh, ok, but why?

Telnet only says:

Trying [my.ip.address]...
telnet: connect to address [my.ip.address]: Connection refused
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused


Even when running tmda-ofmipd from the command line an in debug mode, I
am getting NO messages that give me any inkling of what's going on...


BTW, my firewall logs say that the packets are being accepted by the
server... so it is getting past the firewall, thus I am assuming that
tmda-ofmipd does not like something about it. But what?
