Gregor -- First, which address is which. Using the FQDNs you mention below, I find they both resolve, as follows:
inf.uajy.ac.id = 202.149.81.61 mail.uajy.ac.id = 202.149.81.55 Replies to your specific questions assume these are the right FQDNs and I am resolving them to the right addresses. If I am not ... then that is where you need to look for the problem. So, the first thing is to confirm that the two addresses are resolving correctly, externally. Second, I cannot do a reverse lookup on either of these addresses. The results: collier:/usr/src/linux# host 202.149.81.61 202.149.81.61 does not exist, try again collier:/usr/src/linux# host 202.149.81.55 202.149.81.55 does not exist, try again This is a DNS problem that should be fixed. It might be causing some of your failures (see below).

My browser returns home pages of both addresses: http://202.149.81.61/ = "Teknik Informatika" http://202.149.81.55/ = "UAJYWebmail" The text of neither home page is in English, so I can't really tell you more than that about them. The second one at least seems right, given the match to the "uajy" in the FQDNs. And the first says it is the Website of "www.inf.uajy.ac.id", so it too is probably right (your domain, if not your actual host). >3. from both legal_ip1 and legal_ip2 I could send email to the outside world >(eg. yahoo.com), but when I tried to reply, the mail didn't get delivered to >the inbox, instead it bounched with comment "sorry, I couldn't find host >mail.uajy.ac.id and inf.uajy.ac.id" The DNS problem (no reverse lookups) could be the cause of your mail failures. >4. I couldn't send email from legal_ip1 to legal_ip2 nor from legal_ip2 >legal_ip1. How do these local mail sends fail? Can you telnet to port 25 on both addresses? If I try, I get different results: collier:/usr/src/linux# telnet 202.149.81.61 25 Trying 202.149.81.61... Connected to 202.149.81.61.

Given the differences between my results and yours, I can only suggest that you report the conditions of your tests more completely. -- ------------------------------------"Never tell me the odds!"--- Ray Olszewski -- Han Solo Palo Alto, CA [EMAIL PROTECTED] ---------------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ Leaf-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-user
