[ale] I lied, tcp wrappers question (was bastille/exim)

[J.M. Taylor]

No such beast as tcpd. I did set smtp in hosts.allow, and couldn't find 
anything to hup so I pulled a windows admin and rebooted.  Stil no dice - 
refused connection from hostname [IP] (tcp wrappers)

And I still can't telnet to the port.  Totally at a loss here....
Thanks
