One legitimate user is maria. Another is info which maps to dominfo. I'm also curious what an invalid user, such as "goofy", shows. There were quite a few of the "Failed connect() Error: Connection refused" errors because of the retries so I've tried a bunch of test sends but none have bounced back (or made it through) yet. (tried yesterday). When I telnet in on port 25 everything works as expected - no errors. But when I send mail from a shaw.ca or yahoo.com or hotmail.com or telus.net account it doesn't come through. Unfortunately I can't log what those folks smtp sessions do nor can I find any errors about this in /var/log, /var/mail, or /etc/mail. Any ideas? Thanks, Shannon
