Frontier broke my Alpine - Can receive, but not send.
by RAWilson from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5QNA3)
Hi,
Frontier recently forced me to change my static IP, and broke both Apache and Alpine mail in the process. At first none of my web domains could be reached from the outside world, and I could neither send nor receive email, but I opened the Firewall on the router Frontier gave me, and was able to open port 80 for Apache and all was well. Then I opened port 25 and 110 for Alpine, and was partially successful. (Before Frontier "fixed" me, those were the ports I used for 20 years!) Now I can receive email, but I cannot send it. My primary use for Linux is as a web server, so I really don't know a lot about the system, but I'm hoping someone will tell me this is an easy fix. I use Slackware and the command line. No GUI.
