Subject: send & receive ok from server...but send only from mail clients on workstations

Hello,

I installed postfix on a RH6.2 GPL machine to replace our old
Altavista mail server on NT4. It works fine, from the
server, but here's my problem :

Users can't receive their mail using the e-mail client on their
workstations. They get a "Timeout" message. However, SENDING e-mails
from there works fine.

But, when the users log directly on the server console, they can
RECEIVE and SEND.

I tried to connect with telnet to the port 25 and got a response (220 mail.azisoft.ch ESMTP Postfix).
,but got a "connection lost" message when trying port 110.

I installed the machine like this : On a freshly installed RH6.2 GPL,
I removed sendmail by following the instructions in the RedHat postfix
HOWTO and then installed the Postfix 19991231pl08 RPM, and made the
few changes required in the postfix/main.cf. Then, I created the users
(I tried some with popusers and some with users groups).

Thanks for your help,
