My DSL provider blocks outgoing SMTP, unless it is from their own SMTP server. You may need to setup a smarthost from sendmail, to forward the mail through your ISPs mail server.
Try to telnet to the remote SMTP server on port 25 to test if your ISP is blocking the mail: Example$ telnet mx1.redhat.com 25 Trying 66.187.233.31... Connected to mx1.redhat.com. Escape character is '^]'. 220 *********************************************************200************ 0*00 (to find out the mail server, do: dig host.com MX) Hope this helps, - nick -----Original Message----- From: Joseph A Nagy Jr [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, September 15, 2003 9:32 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Setting Up Sendmail -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 On Monday 15 September 2003 11:29, Joseph A Nagy Jr wrote this in an attempt to be witty or informative: <snip> > Well, sendmail is currently sent to localhost, but when I tried to > send to messages via sendmail, they got bounced back to the local que > as undeliverable (target domain unkown, although it does exist). > > Would you like a copy of the bounce message I get from my ISP? One thing I forgot to mention. Actually two. My ISP is Charter Communications (of course). Also, I can send to the list if I go to the web interface for my POP3 account. - -- Wielder of the mighty +1 LARTsaber of Unsubscribe Instructions At End of Message, the +3 Clue-by-Four of No Attachments to a Mailing List, and the -4 Shield of No Spell Checker. http://joseph-a-nagy-jr.homelinux.org http://mc-luug.homelinux.org/ -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.1 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE/Zelunjt9jEvKYeARAjaJAJ4mgX/kihtUqmp1VEebuT7qul7GTgCggaPv FK0A0W7dsj3sXxd/iOBp3xk= =vBsQ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
