In the following order... 1) type: telnet 4clevands.com 25 This should verify that a firewall is not blocking attempts from the server your on. If you get a 220 response, then type: quit. 2) type: sendmail -bt -d0.1 </dev/null Look for the canonical name. Can this name be looked up in DNS? both forward and reverse? 3) You did not answer my question from my other post. Are we working on the same problem? The logfile entry you posted is over a day old.
