Hi,

Aha! so it goes by tethereal on the command line. I want to run this from
command line only no GUI.

I think I need to look more into the capture filters to get what I'm looking for.
Sincerely,
Mike

Good idea - it's simpler.

  
tshark does show what appears to be traffic.
    
So tshark is installed, but not wireshark?

Yup, Centos continues in the grand Red Hat tradition of "let's confuse  
users who want the Wireshark GUI as much as we possibly can":

To install a wireshark GUI type:

yum install wireshark-gnome

let it install, then find wireshark in Applications->Internet of  
Linux.

Do remember that to install Wireshark first day you initially need  
to go:

yum install wireshark

    
So, if you want Wireshark, with the GUI, try "yum install wireshark- 
gnome", as per the above.

  
The main reason for all of this to monitor/record HELOs/EHLOs to see  
what is impersonating my IP address to get me listed on CBL.

tshark is giving me data like this:

5.603672 75.XX.XX.XX -> 74.xx.xx.xx TCP 51268 > 22 [ACK] Seq=1  
Ack=3185 Win=65535 Len=0 TSV=246431382 TSER=315369746
    
What it's giving you there is an indication that 75.xx.xx.xx sent  
74.xx.xx.xx an ACK of some TCP traffic that 74.xx.xx.xx sent from port  
22 - the port for SSH.  If you haven't specified a capture filter,  
you'll have to manually dig through tshark's output to find the SMTP  
traffic.

If you want just the SMTP traffic, you'll want to check the SMTP port  
- or ports, including the mail submission port, 587.
