A problem has shown up all of a sudden on my Debian 2.0 system. Everything worked fine until yesterday.
Now when I try to send mail, about half the time it spits out ROUTER:smart_host TRANSPORT:smtp ERROR:(ERR164) transport smtp: BIND server failure: : Connection timed out into /var/log/smail/logfile almost immediately after I hit send and the message is "deferred" and sits in my outgoing mailq for a long time. I had not changed any settings, so I am at a loss as to what broke. I just tried messing with bindconfig and smailconfig some and nothing changed. Any ideas?
