SMTP Connections

2001-05-03 Thread David Steinberg

Hi all,

I'm trying get a Debian box to act as a mail server.  I'm using
exim.  Presently, it receives mail, but it won't send mail, at least to
the destinations I've been using for testing.

When it tries to connect to a mail server, the connection is either
refused or just hangs and then times out.  Just to test, I also tried
using telnet to connect to port 25 of the same hosts.  Same thing: either
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused or nothing.

The weird thing is: I think I had it working earlier yesterday, and since
then, I've hardly changed anything...just some rewriting and aliasing
configuration in exim.

On what basis could a mail server decide which hosts it is going to allow
to connect to it?

Thanks for your help.

are you behind a firewall?
try to telnet to port 25 of mail.madduck.net - if you get a refusal,
then you have a problem on your side and i think you might have a
firewall that blocks outgoing 25 connects (which is not uncommon).

the easy way out is to use your commpany's smtp relay server as the
smtp forwarding host (relay) for exim.

ip addresses mostly...

Yes, but I don't think it blocks outgoing 25/tcp connects.

Could you expand on this?  How would a mail server decide which IP
addresses to block?  Why would it suddenly decide that it doesn't like
mine?  :)

no it doesn't. i saw your connects...

i really don't think that would be the problem. it could be that your
home.com ip address is listed on mail-abuse.org, but my server should
have caught that already. what servers have you tried so far?

a mail server will block certain ips if they are commonly used by
spammers - that's what mail-abuse.org is for. otherwise, i see no
point in blocking connects...

Mail servers can be set up to check the anti-spam group's (RBL ?? or
is it RBS ??) database for bad IP addresses. They maintain a list
of mail servers that they have either found to be open or allow
relaying.

If your IP address has been flagged, this could be a reason.

but the server i made him try uses RBL extensively and did not refuse
him. i think he's suffering more a client side problem... but i am a
postfix expert, no clue about exim...

You're right!  It was my configuration of exim.  I had it doing hostname
lookups wrong.  It wasn't looking up MX records because I had made it use
gethostbyname(), instead of a direct DNS lookup.  As a result, it was
trying to connect to hosts that didn't accept their own mail.

It's all fixed now.

Thanks so much for your help.
