Thanks in advance to anyone who can help with this: Here's 'uname -a': FreeBSD mail.herdtech.com 4.5-RELEASE FreeBSD 4.5-RELEASE #0: Mon Jan 28 14:31:56 GMT 2002 murray@builder.freebsdmall.com:/usr/src/sys/compile/GENERIC i386 I'm running Sendmail 8.12.2 on FreeBSD 4.5-RELEASE for my mail server, and I'm experiencing an odd problem, or, rather, suite of problems. The server uses a private IP, and sits behind a NAT router. Internally, I can SSH, Telnet, etc., but my mail programs timeout when attempting to connect via SMTP or, for that matter, POP (using qpopper). Externally, I cannot SSH, Telnet, etc. _and_ cannot connect via SMTP or POP. Certainly, I suspect this is an OS issue, but, you see, almost nothing's changed except the physical location of the equipment. The problem started after a move. The router's the same, the private IPs are the same, etc. The only difference from a networking standpoint are my public IPs, but DNS is done correctly, as is NAT. I'd be happy to provide whatever info is necessary to help diagnose the issue. I've run out of things to check, but reinstallation is simply not something I care to do just yet. Also, please copy thetrueelf@hotmail.com on any replies. I'm not subscribed to the list (for reasons of volume), and the address below is hosted on my broken server! Thanks again, -ELf ---------------------------------------------------------- Matthew A.
