Unable to establish an SMTP connection error

2001-08-14 Thread Gary MacKay

I have two people I can no longer email. It used to work just fine. I
have not changed anything on my qmail server. (I know, you've heard that
before! but I swear, I didn't). Both email addresses, I can telnet to
them on port 25 and get a prompt, so I know the domain part of the
addresses are OK. I can send to anyone else just fine, so I presume my
server is OK.

How can I get more info in the qmail-send/current log file so I can see
why it is failing?

You don't need more info -- qmail will log why the deliveries are
failing.  Show us the excerpts from the log of those deliveries failing.
For example, here's part of the log showing a spammer sending a message
to an account here that no longer exists::
