qmail for some reason is refusing to connect to another host which is located
on the same hub:
2000-05-02 02:28:33.493593500 starting delivery 390: msg 99178 to remote
[EMAIL PROTECTED]

Sorry,_I_wasn't_able_to_establish_an_SMTP_connection._(#4.4.1)/
But, as you can see:
adam@spotted:~$ telnet pan-fried.flounder.net 25
Trying 207.99.110.102...
Connected to pan-fried.flounder.net.
Escape character is '^]'.
220 athlon.flounder.net ESMTP
SMTP is up and running fine on pan-fried and I can connect to it from this
box. And there is no sort of timeout or anything -- it connects immediately.
So, why can't qmail connect? tcpserver is totally idle on the other box:
2000-05-02 02:30:43.196639500 tcpserver: status: 0/40
There are no dns problems:
