Hi, I'm not sure if this is appropriate here, if not I'll take it elsewhere. I use the following .mc on my machine : divert(0) VERSIONID(`$FreeBSD: himinbjorg.mc,v 1.0 2003/02/04 16:39:14 tuc Exp $') OSTYPE(freebsd4) DOMAIN(generic) FEATURE(access_db, `hash -o -T<TMPF> /etc/mail/access') FEATURE(blacklist_recipients) FEATURE(local_lmtp) FEATURE(mailertable, `hash -o /etc/mail/mailertable') FEATURE(virtusertable, `hash -o /etc/mail/virtusertable') FEATURE(relay_based_on_MX) FEATURE(nouucp,nospecial) FEATURE(always_add_domain) FEATURE(genericstable, `hash -o /etc/mail/genericstable') FEATURE(use_cw_file) FEATURE(local_procmail) MASQUERADE_AS(`ttsg.com') define(`confCW_FILE', `-o /etc/mail/local-host-names') define(`confMAX_MIME_HEADER_LENGTH', `256/128') define(`confNO_RCPT_ACTION', `add-to-undisclosed') define(`confPRIVACY_FLAGS', `authwarnings,noexpn,novrfy') define(`confSAVE_FROM_LINES',`True') define(`confMAX_HOP',`17') define(`confCOPY_ERRORS_TO',`Postmaster') define(`confMIME_FORMAT_ERRORS',`False') define(`confUSE_ERRORS_TO',`True') define(`confMCI_CACHE_SIZE',`5') define(`confME_TOO',`True') MAILER(local) MAILER(smtp) MAILER(pop) Nothing earth shattering, right? So then why can't I ever email USER@mtida.org , I almost immediately get : himinbjorg% mail -v example@mtida.org Subject: TEST test . EOT example@mtida.org... Connecting to mail-fwd.bellsouth-hosting.net. via esmtp... example@mtida.org... Deferred: Operation timed out with mail-fwd.bellsouth-hosting.net. It seems ANY domain that goes to mail-fwd.bellsouth-hosting.net (local709.org, bcd.org - Just examples from a named dump) himinbjorg% mail -v example@local709.org Subject: test test . EOT example@local709.org... Connecting to mail-fwd.bellsouth-hosting.net. via esmtp... example@local709.org... Deferred: Operation timed out with mail-fwd.bellsouth-hosting.net. himinbjorg% mail -v example@bcd.org Subject: TEst test . EOT example@bcd.org... Connecting to mail-fwd.bellsouth-hosting.net. via esmtp... example@bcd.org... Deferred: Operation timed out with mail-fwd.bellsouth-hosting.net. Just doesn't happen!? It is the only mail server I've EVER encountered that I have this problem on. HOWEVER : himinbjorg% telnet mail-fwd.bellsouth-hosting.net 25 Trying 209.130.32.60... Connected to mail-fwd.bellsouth-hosting.net. Escape character is '^]'. 220 mail09a.bellsouth-hosting.net SMTP RS ver 1.0.78vs QUIT 221 mail09a.bellsouth-hosting.net closing connection Connection closed by foreign host. So it IS there , and IS answering.... Help appreciated, this is driving me nutty. TCPDUMPS show NO attempt on port 25 or 587 to this server! Thanks, Tuc/TTSG Internet Services, Inc.
