what does postfix´s logs says? It could be name resolution, something wrong with maps, etc.

Hi all,
Recently installed dovecot and postfix under Fedora8 and it works great. Then I installed both postfix and dovecot under VMWare Server (different machine) copying the same configuration files but changing the hostname and domain as appropriate.
When testing the installation using: telnet hostname 143, I receive * OK Dovecot ready But when I telnet on port 25, I receive:
Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to 127.0.0.1. Escape character is '^]'.
Instead of: Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to 127.0.0.1. Escape character is '^]'. 220 mail.kickspam.net ESMTP Postfix
Naturally, I cannot send email. Outlook responds with Server timeout. I've rebooted and restarted services. I've checked poermissions and postfix master.cf
How can I troubleshoot or does anyone have a quick answer?
Thanks!
Here's the output of dovecot -n and postconf -n The same config files are on both hosts and only the installation under VMWare Server has the problem.
