Hello,
First a picture of my network arrangement:
I have a box called "earth" which does IP masquerading for my local
network. "Earth" also does my http, ftp, smtp (qmail), and pop3
(qmail) service. (I'd like to move the gateway functions to another
box, but haven't got a suitable one yet.)
I have another box called "kindling" which is my print server and the
repository of all my e-mail user functions. This box is also running
qmail. "Kindling" is on the local network and uses "earth" as a
gateway. I have just moved e-mail user functions here from "earth."
Everything seems to work except smtp and pop on "earth". qmail on
"kindling" logs an error that it could not connect to smtp service (on
"earth") when I try to send mail to "earth." But I can send mail
anyplace else. fetchmail simply hangs when trying to pop mail from
"earth", but succeeds in fetching from other servers. (I have to use
fetchmail because I don't see how I can do pop via ssh with the
alternative that's been recommended here.)
The nmap program reports that both services are available (on
area66-1.dsl.speakeasy.net).
"Kindling" and "earth" are defined as kindling.parts-unknown.org and
earth.parts-unknown.org in /etc/hosts. (Network Solutions hasn't
gotten this domain properly pointed yet.)
I doubt I've given you all the information you need. What else should
I be looking at and (presumably) telling you?

There are no physicists in the hottest parts of hell, because the
existence of a "hottest part" implies a temperature difference, and
any marginally competent physicist would immediately use this to
run a heat engine and make some other part of hell comfortably cool.
This is obviously impossible.
