Hi everyone

I have a box, a FreeBSD 5.3-release whit qmail version 1.03 and the
SPAMCONTROL patch 2.3.11, all have worked fine, but since a few days i cant
connect to several random mail servers. i have a cisco gateway that hasnt
changed any config.

One of my qmail log message is this:
@4000000042a734fd0287b674 starting delivery 193941: msg 8543907 to remote
abcdefg@laprensa.hn
@4000000042a734fd0287b888 delivery 193941: deferral:
Connected_to_200.30.172.163_but_connection_died._(#4.4.2)/

I guess that I had problems with qmail. So, i try to connect manually to the
remote box, but a i got this message:
asgard1# telnet 200.30.172.163 25
Trying 200.30.172.163...
Connected to correos.laprensa.hn.
Escape character is '^]'.
Connection closed by foreign host.

The next step was to ping the remote server and i got this:
asgard1# ping 200.30.172.163
PING 200.30.172.163 (200.30.172.163): 56 data bytes

And then I have run tcpdump while i did telnet to the host again and the
response was:
asgard1# /usr/sbin/tcpdump -vv dst host 200.30.172.163

Look at the "bad tcp cksum" message, is the only thing that i look strange. 

But is very extrange that I can connect with telnet on 80 port to the same
server, look at following lines:
asgard1# telnet 200.30.172.163 80
Trying 200.30.172.163...
Connected to correos.laprensa.hn.
Escape character is '^]'.
quit
HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request ( The data is invalid.  )
Connection: close
Pragma: no-cache
Cache-Control: no-cache
Content-Type: text/html
.
.
.... etc


If i tried to connect using others mailservers running or not running qmail
on the same
subnet, i got this successful message:
[root@thor mbeltran]# telnet 200.30.172.163 25
Trying 200.30.172.163...
Connected to correos.laprensa.hn (200.30.172.163).
Escape character is '^]'.
220 laprensa.hn ESMTP MDaemon 6.8.4; Wed, 08 Jun 2005 14:41:16 -0600
quit
221 See ya in cyberspace
Connection closed by foreign host.


I really dont know what thing should i do for solve this problem. Any
suggestions?
 
Thanks in advance and regards.
 
Mario.
