Re: Anymore help out there? Re: mail never gets sent
Just out of curiosity have you used nslookup to check if MX records are resolving ok? Have you checked the logs? Does your host have forward and reverse dns working correctly and they match? Mail servers often reject mail coming from machines without proper dns entries. DNS not working right means much more than just can i resolve a site on the box.

Re: Anymore help out there? Re: mail never gets sent
You need to configure sendmail to route via your ISP's SMTP gateway. Many IP's are listed in a 'dial up user blacklist', and yahoo, aol, etc will reject your mail otherwise. REF: SmartHost in you sendmail config. webmin is your friend.

Set your SmartHost in your sendmail config to relay through your ISP's SMTP relay will fix the problem. Robert Huff wrote: [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: The timeouts look suspicious.

I'd talk to your ISP and see if they're doing anything strange with outgoing SMTP connections. If you've got a firewall set up, I'd check the rules on that as well. I don't think you're on a blacklist, 'cos if that were the case, you'd usually get a: 550 You're on a blacklist, yadda, yadda. response instead. -- Jonathan Chen [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Only the meek get pinched.
