Hello list,
OK, This message just might shed a bit of light in the whole problem.
Here it goes.
Just to be on the safe side I tried to telnet on the ISPs' pop3
server via telnet through my xmail box. The reason I did this is
because I checked everything except making sure the box can telnet
out to the real world. The reason being that xmail sits in the DMZ
behind a linux ipchains firewall.
Frederik, this is for you :-)
Unfortunaly, it worked fine. I was hoping that I coulnd't telnet out
from Xmail, hence the undelivered messages problem.
I've encountered something new today though. I did try to send
messages from the xmail box to my hotmail account. I tried six times.
And six times I got the following message :
---------------------------------------------------------------------
[<00>] XMail bounce: Rcpt=[[EMAIL PROTECTED]];Error=[The maximum number of
delivery attempts has been reached]

Mail From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Rcpt To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
[<02>] The reason of the delivery failure was:
The maximum number of delivery attempts has been reached
[<05>] Here is listed the initial part of the message:

>From what it says, it reached maximum resend attemts. Which must
mean that xmail does not get an ACK from the outside ?
Any ideas ? Anyone ? I can't go further than the above deduction.
TIA,
Spyros
