(already posted to comp.mail.sendmail - hoping to speed things up by posting here) I wonder if someone could log an smtp connection to this server and give me some hint as to what's going on (or tell from this error snippet): <begin error snippet> Your message has been enqueued and undeliverable for 1 day to the following recipients: Recipient address: info@thedomaininquestion.com Reason: unable to deliver this message after 1 day Recipient address: reg@thedomaininquestion.com Reason: unable to deliver this message after 1 day Delivery attempt history for your mail: Sun, 19 Oct 2003 23:18:09 -0600 (MDT) TCP active open: Failed connect() Error: Connection refused <end error snippet> The domain is dateomatic.ca (mail.dateomatic.ca). One legitimate user is maria. Another is info which maps to dominfo. I'm also curious what an invalid user, such as "goofy", shows. There were quite a few of the "Failed connect() Error: Connection refused" errors because of the retries so I've tried a bunch of test sends but none have bounced back (or made it through) yet. (tried yesterday). When I telnet in on port 25 everything works as expected - no errors. But when I send mail from a shaw.ca or yahoo.com or hotmail.com or telus.net account it doesn't come through. Unfortunately I can't log what those folks smtp sessions do nor can I find any errors about this in /var/log, /var/mail, or /etc/mail. Any ideas? Thanks, Shannon
