Sendmail Mavens;
I have a sendmail question that I hope someone can help with. I'm running a
stock RH6.0 box with sendmail. It's been running fine except for one thing.
I have one site, internal to us, that sendmail times out on. This site has
their own IT, so they run their own mail server.
I can telnet to port 25 of their box just fine, but sendmail gives me (names
changed to protect the innocent):
[root@mail /root]# mailq
LAA17716* 2177 Mon Nov 29 11:29 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
(Deferred: Connection timed out with mail.example2.com.)
However, if I:
[root@mail /root]# telnet mail.example2.com 25
Trying w.x.y.z...
Connected to mail.example2.com.
Escape character is '^]'.
220 example2.com ESMTP SomeSMTPServer.
QUIT
221 example2.com SomeSMTPServer closing connection
Connection closed by foreign host.
..and it comes up almost immediately.
If I 'sendmail -v -q', I get the same timeout.
So basically, sendmail is delivering to everyone outside of my facility. To
this one, internal to my WAN, I'm getting timeouts. But I can ping,
traceroute and telnet to it just fine.
Strange, or am I missing something simple? Thanks.
