Hi Paul,

What is happening is mail is coming from machine A--=E0 sent to a middle=
 machine X which I think is acting as a delivery machine(as I see postfi=
x as a processes) which iisn't the recipient of the mail just

Deliverer. It is also a jails machine. Anyway the logs on system A say=
 the following when sending a mail to me through X.

I did a tcp dump on system X and I did see packets coming in and out fro=
m X on port 25 but nothing came in on the maillog.

I then sent the same email I attempted on system A but from system X.

That worked and here is the log.

Hi, I am responsible for a system I know little about.

Sendmail all of a sudden stopped working...the sendmial is supposed to
send to another machine.


Check /var/log/maillog on both boxes,

you should see a log message on the origin machine and the onward machin=
e of the form

(I've replaced actual names with CAPS)

Feb 25 10:37:32 SERVER1 sm-mta[74139]: q1OIevSE033413-MSGID: to=3D<info@=

=3D4.0.0, stat=3DDeferred: Operation timed out with [SERVER]

What does the Stat say on the first box, if its anything other than Sent=
 Ok, then it'll say why. ( deferred, refused etc).

Check the logs on the 2nd server for the same message.

Post extracts from both boxes if you need further help

good luck

Paul.
