From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: "Robert" Subject: Sendmail won't receive remote messages Date: Tue, 26 Aug 2003 19:23:51 +1000 Sender: linux-newbie-owner@vger.kernel.org Message-ID: Reply-To: "Robert" Return-path: List-Id: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit To: linux-newbie@vger.kernel.org My mail server has been working without a glitch for a number of months. All of a sudden it won't receive messages from the Internet. Local mail within my network is still received. Our ISP is under new management - so maybe its not a problem with my system! I'm able to access my webpage OK over the net at http://www.mydomain.com.au. Could somebody let me know whether there's a problem with my config, or is there a problem with my ISP? Below is a description of my setup: OS: Slackware 9.0 Sendmail 8.12.9 Firewall: only port 25 open to receive mail I access my mail with Squirrelmail and IMAP2 If I telnet to my mail server from a dialup, everything looks OK (I've substituted my address with a fictitious one): ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- # telnet myserver.com.au 25 220 myserver.com.au ESMTP Sendmail 8.12.9/8.12.9; Tue, 26 Aug 2003 07:34:58 +1000 helo 63.60.42.226 250 myserver.com.au Hello 1Cust226.tnt3.cbr2.da.uu.net [63.60.42.226], pleased to meet you mail from: me@mycomputer.com 250 2.1.0 me@mycomputer.com...
