Hi,
I'm kind of stuck on this one, hoping somebody can help me out..
I host a small family mailing list on one of my debian-woody
machines, using majordomo. This is a very low traffic list (often
weeks go by without any messages.)
This week, traffic on the list was up, but I received a complaint
from one of the list members, whose email address is on aol.com,
that the mail did not get through.
Mail sent directly to the aol.com address doesn't arrive either,
mail sent from an alternate address does arrive.
When I examine the logs, the email is shown as "Status= Sent", and
everything seems to be OK.
A possibly related problem is that, for some reason, I seem to be
unable to send email to addresses on msn.com.
What happens here is that the connection is made, but nothing
happens and the host is disconnected after four hours.
The only thing I can think of at this point is that I applied the
sendmail security update two weeks ago.
The questions:
- Does anybody else have the same problem ?
- Does anybody have any suggestions for fixing this ?
- Failing that, I'd like to move back to the original
(pre-security) patch of sendmail.. I do have the woody
CD-roms.. Is there any way to force the install of the old
package, with the same config as the current ?
And if there is anyone with an aol.com account, that I could
bounce some mail off over the weekend, that would be helpful
too.. Just want to check that the error is not on the aol-user
end. (Usually a very clueful person, by the way...)
Thanks in advance,
TimT
