I'm having a problem with my FreeBSD machine not being able to recieve incoming mail. Mail sent to my machine bounces with the message "skb@asgard.slcc.edu... Deferred: Connection refused by cislab.slcc.edu.". Which struck me funny, because cislab (my gateway machine) is a Netware server. Asgard is my machine. I can telnet to asgard's sendmail daemon from elsewhere and successfully send mail to an asgard user. This is true even when the "elsewhere" is a [Linux|AIX|Solaris] machine from which mail sent to asgard (using mail(1)) still bounces. Outgoing mail works nicely, as does local mail. I thought the problem might have been because I didn't have a POP3 daemon, but installing one didn't help. My sendmail.cf file is unmodified since installation. I also see nothing incriminating in /var/log/maillog, although I'm not sure I really know how to interpret that file. I'm out of ideas. Does anyone know what might be going on? -Scott
