Maybe you couldnt understand mi previous message (the encoding thing) , Im going to answer your question, and Im going to paste the question again below. I have no problem at all with the server, mi DNS its working great, i can telnet mi machine by the ip address and by name, and the response its very fast, even the telnet to the port 25 and port 110, but with the computers behind the NAT, I have the same results mentioned above with the exception of the port 25, it delays 25 seconds to print the greeting message, this is the only port that its doing this. First Posting... Hi, Im setting up a FreeBSD 3.2 Release server, as a mail server using sendmail 8.9.3, i have procmail 3.13.1 to deliver mail to home directories, have quotas enabled, Im using NAT in my Cisco routers, and everything its working great, the server its very fast responding to the smtp requests of the machines in the local network (Where the IP address its not translated) if telnet the server to the port 25, the response its very fast too, but when i try to send email with a computer that its behind the NAT, it takes 25 seconds to respond the smtp request, even if i telnet to the machine to the port 25 it delays 25 seconds to answer, but in the computers that are behind the NAT, i can telnet the sever very fast, and also I can telnet the server to the port 110 with a very fast response, the problem its only with the port 25 apparently, what can I do to correct this problem, BTW, I also have an NT machine that its working as mi actual mail server, and i have no problems with it, i can telnet to this server to the port 25 and the response its very fast from the computers behind the NAT, i dont think this is a problem with mi routers, because it always have worked rigth since 1 year ago, and they are working rigth now very well with the NT server. Its there some tweak thing to do, or what can I do to Fix it??? PS If you need more information, just tell me. Thanks in advance!!!
