Exactly when did you send the above e-mail? The delay shows its been queued for delivery for 1 day:6 hours:9 minutes and 5 seconds. Are you sure your referenceing a "current" problem? > > Any ideas? Based on the status entry... it looks like sendmail attempted to connect to 4clevelands.com, but for some reason the connection was refused. Duh! This could either be a firewall blocking outbound connections on port 25 -or- sendmail is announcing itself (HELO) incorrectly to 4clevelands.com and is being rejected. I know I have my MTA confgured to reject MTA's that do not announce themselves correctly during the HELO handshake. Fricken spammers do that all the time.
