In this case, it has been down for a while. Verizon techs on the pole. There is only one WAN on this firewall (one FW per WAN). The DNS, SMTP, NTP, etc are on the LAN side of the FW. Ex: [2.0.2-RELEASE][r...@xxx.zzz]/root(3): ping mail PING mail.ZZZ (aa.bb.cc.dd): 56 data bytes 64 bytes from aa.bb.cc.dd: icmp_seq=0 ttl=64 time=0.406 ms 64 bytes from aa.bb.cc.dd: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.330 ms 64 bytes from aa.bb.cc.dd: icmp_seq=2 ttl=64 time=0.285 ms ^C --- mail.ZZZ ping statistics --- 3 packets transmitted, 3 packets received, 0.0% packet loss round-trip min/avg/max/stddev = 0.285/0.340/0.406/0.050 ms [2.0.2-RELEASE][r...@xxx.zzz]/root(2): ping google.com PING google.com (74.125.226.164): 56 data bytes ^C --- google.com ping statistics --- 10 packets transmitted, 0 packets received, 100.0% packet loss [2.0.2-RELEASE][r...@xxx.zzz]/root(3): > > I've noticed that if the outgoing connection goes down > briefly, no emails > are sent.

No emails EVER, except the test emails... status_gateways.php shows: Status: Gateways Name Gateway Monitor RTT Loss Status Description WAN XXX 64.221.77.118 0.000ms 100.0% Offline -Jason _______________________________________________ List mailing list List@lists.pfsense.org https://lists.pfsense.org/mailman/listinfo/list
