I thank all those who have attempted to help me work out my outbound sendmail
nightmare.

I've tried TCP_EXTENSIONS=YES and NO with the same effect. I've changed it back
to YES which was the default.

DNS seems to be reversing properly. At least I know it is working locally 
although my Cisco has been giving me some headaches too lately. Perhaps it is
blocking DNS info ? Could somebody try resolving wave.cyberbeach.net
(my mail/http/shell machine) as well as a reverse lookup for 205.150.79.11
(same machine)

Outbound mail traffic times out 95% of the time. (probably more) Users can
send each other mail without problems via popper or by logging into the unix
box (FreeBSD 2.1.5) and people from the outside world can send mail in
quite happily.

God. Things go so well for so long, then everything goes wrong all at once.
On a side note, perhaps if people could try our WWW page at www.cyberbeach.net
while they are at it. I'm getting paranoid about that rickety old Cisco.

In conclusion, can anybody run off any kind of list that could cause
sendmail to time out all the time ? Even transfers to ISP's in the same
city die all the time.

I'd cry if I could keep my tears from shorting out my keyboard...
