1) I dont have a mail subdirectory under etc... 
2) find -name *allow* does not yield any mail related files....
3) The message is CONNECTION REFUSED..
     if I try to telnet into the host.. ie..      host:25    it appears to
connect then disconnect as quick as it connected. No text received, no
error message, just CONNECTION LOST... When I run netutil (a windows
program) it responds that SMTP is detected on the [linux] host.

Stranger and Stranger....
