We just put qmail in production use. All our clients are running Outlook,
and most work fine. However some are unable to send mail if their SMTP
server is set to the INSIDE interface of our mail server. If we change their
SMTP server to the outside interface (ie, they go through the firewall) then
it's fine.
Network does not seem to be the issue - client can ping the inside
interface, and can telnet to port 25 and send a message. Seems to be
something specific to Outlook. Outlook progress bar goes halfway, hangs for
about 30 seconds, and then reports that the remote server terminated the
session error 0x88ccc05.
I used recordio to capture the SMTP conversation of a failed attempt on the
inside interface and a successful message on the outside interface (user is
smarsh, see below). However I don't see anything obvious, except maybe the
client neglects to send a QUIT on the first attempt? I dunno the piece of
junk mail in the middle makes me lose the track.
Any advice?
