We are running a free bsd server with Apache. We are having a major problem with sendmail. Originally we had the wrong dns lookup on the server and the reverse dns was pointed to another name causing a general mail failure. We fixed the reverse dns which solved the external mail problem but then the sendmail would not talk to the email server correctly. It looks like when the original reverse dns was run, the sendmail forwarded properly. After correcting the reverse dns, sendmail gets a timeout. Example follows: ........................................................................ .......................................
