I think that is probably because your mail server never recieved
an SMTP connection.
Look closely at that log snippet, and then think about how qmail
accepts _all_ mail destined for a local or virtual domain (unless
blocked by badmailfrom). qmail does not output "User unknown" during
an SMTP conversation. Now, you gotta love sendmaul, because it spits
out "User unknown" in its bounces even if the remote mail server said
something completely different (I can never remember why it does this,
I just know in my mind that it's brain dead), so don't pay any
attention to it.
I'm a bit confused as to why his sendmail program decided to bounce
the mail outright; probably a local misconfiguration of some sort.
The delay and xdelay stats show no delay at all in accepting and
attempting delivery to you. Sendmail *never* does anything in less
than a second ;-)
Besides, I just did this:
220 wndrgrl.goldblatt.net ESMTP
HELO coinet.com
250 wndrgrl.goldblatt.net
mail from:<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
250 ok
rcpt to:<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
250 ok
