The result is the same, mail will not go out. If I do as you suggested iptables -t nat -I OUTPUT -m tcp -p tcp --dport 25 -j DNAT --to-destination 202.78.97.2 then there is no output. nslookup skyinet.net (my ISP I am sending mail) Server: 203.87.128.3 Address: 203.87.128.3#53 Non-authoritative answer: Name: skyinet.net Address: 202.78.97.2 and nslookup meridian.ph (meridian the broadband connection) Server: 203.87.128.3 Address: 203.87.128.3#53 Name: meridian.ph Address: 203.87.128.87 On booting I get: dhcpcd: Your IP Address = 198.168.232.2 nslookup 192.168.232.2 Server: 203.87.128.3 Address: 203.87.128.3#53 ** server can't find 2.232.168.192.in-addr.arpa: NXDOMAIN I finally got an answer from meridian, which is all: Quote try using smtp.meridian.ph as your SMTP server.... and also check that you are using meridian service for the said configuration, using your skyinet and ispx connection wouldn't work with our SMTP server. Unquote They don't touch why it had worked for 2 1/2 months. Should smtp.meridian.ph not have a login name and password. I have asked that and have no answer yet. I am sednding this mail with mail2web.com. It's a lot more cumbersome then using a MUA or just "mail" from the console. Hope we can resolve this problem. I need step by step instructions adopted to my cranial capacity. Have patience therefore.
