I'd suggest that you begin by checking your sendmail log file to see if you are getting connections from the windows machine. Try using telnet on the windows machine to connect to port 25 (smtp) or 110 (pop3) to check if the windows machine can connect. Try running "tcpdump host name.of.windows.machine" and watching the traffic it produces. I've recently seen Outlook XP on Windows XP claim that it can't connect to one mail server (of three listed), but it wasn't actually sending any packets to the server. Rebooting Windows seemed to fix the problem. http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=35552 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
