You can navigate to network->Linux firewall, and add a rule in your filters input table. If you wont try webmin, i suggest reading 'man iptables' Ole Martin Handeland William Stanard wrote: > I'm running Red Hat 2.4.18-14smp; I want to enable Mail(SMTP) on the > server and already run ssh and httpd.
