[vox-tech] smtp question - blocked ip

2003-01-03 Thread Peter Jay Salzman
can someone give me a more useful description of the problem here? who is blocking whom? it sounds like my MTA rejected sending email to netease, but ORDB and tcp wrappers for exim (which i use) should block incoming mail from spammers, not outgoing mail to spammers. at least, i'm pretty sure

ummm...email at work is MS Exchange and that works well enough protected by an SMTP relay on the DMZ. Existing Enterprise smtp relay entry point is also a Win32 solution that is a cheap (cheap as in piece of crap) inflexible one at that. A Linux solution using Postfix or Sendmail has been

Some more odd questions: Are all of your filesystems mounts (rw)? (just run mount to see) Before the next time you run # rpm --rebuilddb Could you check the man page for it? Is there a way to increase the level of verbosity? Sometimes, apps will allow for a number like -d 100 to set debug level

I don't believe you've said what version of RedHat you're running. Also, specifically, what version of rpm are you running? rpm -q rpm would suffice. Assuming it's RedHat 7.x, see: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=73198
