There are two possible problems:

a) You do not have the postmaster running.  Type:

       postmaster &

b) Your Linux box does no loopback networking.  The best idea is perhaps
   to get the SLACKWARE network disks, install them, and make sure, that
   the scripts in

       /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1
       /etc/rc.d/rc.inet2

   are properly called from /etc/rc.d/rc.local or /etc/rc.d/rc.M.

There is a NETWORK-HOWTO, which is regularly posted to the linux
newsgroups, and can be found on the various ftp servers as well.
