hi,
try a telnet to port 25 of your linuxbox from a m$-client. if you get a connection
type HELO DUDE and CR. you should see an answer
from your qmail server. if not, it may be possible, that your tcp-server is not
listening at the local device.
IMHO tcp.smtp is responsible for relaying and therefor the errormessage should be a
deferral and not a null.
and, btw what about reverse nameloockup (there my be a timeout). you may try the -R
flag for tcpserver.
hope that helps
;) alexander
