I am trying to get postfix to work on Fedora core 8. Software installed for mail.
cyrus-sasl
dovecot
postfix
sendmail
sendmail-cf
spamassassin
Used system-switch-mail and made postfix the default mail server. edited the main.cf file to be with the direction of Postfix Mail Server — Fedora Unity Project

The system does not show any more info. There should be something like this.

Port 25 is open I assume as the above telnet.
Does any one have a idea where I have gone wrong.
